West Yellowstone Montana, 2010
Wild Trout X will offer a unique forum for professionals and trout anglers to interact, to get to know each other in an informal setting, and to be exposed to the latest wild trout science, technology and philosophy. These conferences equip participants to better manage, preserve, and restore these magnificent but declining resources. They focus on the needs of working-level wild trout professionals, conservationists, and trout anglers.
The first International Wild Trout Symposium was held in 1974, with symposia now being held at 3-year intervals. These events bring together a broad and diverse audience. Governmental entities, non-governmental conservation groups, media representatives, and educators join anglers, guides, and business interests associated with trout fisheries to share viewpoints on wild trout management and related public policy, and to exchange technical information. During the ensuing 35 years, previous symposia have led to numerous innovative, new, wild trout management approaches. Wild Trout X will continue this progress.
