Little Truckee River Telemetry Study

Sam Sedillo

"Sam Sedillo works for Trout Unlimited as the Sierra Cascades Field Coordinator out of the Truckee TU (TRTU) office. He works on restoration projects, volunteer operations, fish sampling, and outreach. Specifically, Sam will be presenting on how TU is leading projects to conserve, protect, and restore trout and salmon fisheries throughout California. TU is excited to be working on projects that both directly benefit the special fish that exist in the state and also provide increased opportunities for anglers to catch these fish. Specifically, Sam will be talking about a trout tracking study that he is leading on the Little Truckee River through November this year. 25 rainbow trout and brown trout are being monitored to better understand the way trout move and utilize habitat in this special tailwater. Sam moved to Truckee from Colorado one and a half years ago, where he completed his degree in Natural Resources Management and Fishery Biology from Colorado State University. He’s an avid fly fisherman and spent the majority of his angling career there fishing for trout with tiny flies in tailwaters.  This, to nobody’s surprise, prepared him for spending most of his days on the water in California fishing for trout in tailwaters with tiny flies.”
