SUMMARY:February Monthly Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Nicole Watson  is a doctoral candidate at Michigan State Unive
 rsity’s Department of Fisheries and Wildlife. Her current research focus
 es on the successful reintroduction of Arctic Grayling in Michigan streams
   and she has studied 46 tributaries of Lake Michigan.\nResearch for her 
 masters degree focused on steelhead at Central Michigan University.  Her 
 research took her to 46 tributaries surrounding Lake Michigan\, twice per 
 year. Her sampling sites include tributaries of the St. Joe\, Kalamazoo\, 
 Manistee\, Pere Marquette\, and many others in both peninsulas of Michigan
  and in Wisconsin. She focused on juvenile steelhead and use the unique ch
 emical signature of their ear bone (otolith) to determine their nursery ha
 bitat. This signature is influenced by the water in which the fish lives. 
 Streams with a unique water chemistry will result in a unique chemical sig
 nature of the fish’s otolith. Analysis of the otolith signature can give
  insight to the life history of the fish.\n\nThe overarching goal of her c
 urrent research is to clarify uncertainties to successful Grayling reintro
 duction to Michigan streams. It is a multifaceted study including the foll
 owing: predation of Grayling fry by resident\, age-1 Brook and Brown trout
 \; competition between age-0 Grayling\, Brook\, and Brown trout\; Grayling
  imprinting to home waters at early life stages\; alarm cues\; aspects of 
 physiological development\; predator avoidance and predator cue recognitio
 n by juvenile Grayling.  Her research takes her to Alaska each spring to 
 transport Grayling eggs back to her lab at Michigan State University. She 
 spends each summer and fall running trials back in the lab (and finding ti
 me to fly fish in Northern Michigan).\n\nNicole was first introduced to fl
 y fishing at age-9 on the banks of the Au Sable at Wyandotte Lodge (now Ri
 verside).  Nicole is on the Board of Directors of Anglers of the Au Sable
 \, a member of Trout Unlimited and the American Fisheries Society. She liv
 es with her husband\, Tom\, in Dundee\, MI. They love to fish\, hunt\, hik
 e and relax in the great outdoors.  Like to fish for steelhead?  You don
 ’t want to miss this program.\n\nIf you're not a club member but would l
