Current Research Interests:

My research is part of a collaborative effort between Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks Department, Montana State University, and two concurrent projects aimed at investigating mechanisms influencing trout population declines throughout southwestern Montana. My work primarily investigates the recreational usage among the Big Hole, Beaverhead, Ruby, Madison, and Yellowstone rivers, and uses a variety of methods to quantify both angling and non-angling usage.
