Nels held the position of Regional Fisheries Biologist at the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, where he surveyed almost every pond in Baxter State Park. His work in establishing a baseline of knowledge regarding water quality and fisheries in the park is invaluable. This discussion is packed with useful information. A word of caution, though - this conversation may ignite a desire to go fishing for trout in Baxter Park! Fishing licenses are available at any Park Campground and the Visitor Center throughout the summer.
