Montana Library Network Virtual Programming Presents: Montana Fish Identification

Event Description: 

Have you ever caught a fish and didn’t know what it was? Montana is home to 91 different species of fish that can be difficult to identify. This program will teach you how to look at a fish in a way that will help you figure out what it is. This is an interactive program where you will be involved in the identification of fish through a activity after a short presentation.

Presenter Bio:   Ryan Schmaltz - Montana Wild

I have worked with fish and wildlife for 24 years. I grew up in North Dakota and went to daycare at the game warden’s house. I started working for North Dakota Game and Fish the summer of my freshmen year of high school. I worked in fisheries, wildlife, and enforcement before finding my niche in education.

I have worked for Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks now for 12 years. I lead Project Wild Educator Trainings all over the state for hundreds of teachers each year. I supervise the National Archery in the Schools in nearly 200 Montana schools, lead education programing the MT WILD Education Center in Helena and visit local schools teaching the Hooked-on Fishing Program.
