Welcome
Next Wild Trout Symposium
is in 2021!

Wild Trout Symposium XIII
has been postponed

Given the uncertainties of travel, safety, and group activities caused worldwide by the coronavirus pandemic, the Wild Trout XIII organizing committee has decided to postpone the symposium until September 2021. Timing will be similar, and the venue will remain the same, the Holiday Inn in West Yellowstone. We regret the inconvenience of changing plans, but we believe that safety of attendees is more important, and we feel that we cannot guarantee a safe and successful meeting given the information we have right now.

Again, thank you for your continued interest in the Wild Trout Symposia, and we hope to see all of you in September 2021.

Holiday Inn Conference Center

What is the Wild Trout Symposium?

The Wild Trout Symposium brings together a broad and diverse audience of non-profit conservation groups, media representatives, educators, anglers, fishing guides, government entities, and business interests associated with trout fisheries to exchange technical information and viewpoints on wild trout management and related public policy. Held every three years, each symposium has led to innovative approaches to wild trout management.

Wild Trout XIII offers a unique forum for professionals and anglers to interact, where participants are exposed to the latest wild trout science, technology and philosophies. This conference will equip participants to better manage, preserve, and restore these significant but declining resources.
