Brian Heinold will speak on aquatic
entomology at our regular chapter meeting on Wednesday June 19, 2013. Brian has
worked in the field of aquatic entomology since 2001 with more recent positions
as an aquatic entomologist at Colorado Parks and Wildlife and as a research
associate at Colorado State University, where he received his master’s degree in
the field in 2010.
Brian’s main interest is in the
diversity and distribution of mayflies, stoneflies and caddisflies in the
mountain streams of Colorado. He has also done research on the occurrence of
rare winter-emerging stoneflies (snowflies) in Colorado and recently completed a
study of the aquatic macroinvertebrates of the Upper Colorado River to better
understand the effects of the Windy Gap Dam on aquatic life.
Brian will talk on the life cycles
of aquatic insects and how they affect fishing as well as how to successfully
seine for them.
Please join us at Beau Jo’s
Pizzeria in downtown Evergreen at 6:30 PM for dinner and libations, followed by
a short business meeting and the talk at about 7:15 PM. Brian will seine Bear
Creek just behind Beau Jo's around 4:00 PM so come early, if you can.
