1) Never collected before
2) Trying to find a fish that others have had difficulty finding
3) Giving myself only one day for it
So far, from what I've gathered online.
Good spots include areas where a smaller stream meets
a larger one in 2-4 ft of water.
Use a seine - with the help of one more person. Dip nets
are helpful. In July, the juvis can be found at shoreline
vegetation. (Although I doubt I'll be able to ID them)
Precautions, snakes, gators, bugs - so I'm going to be as
careful as I can - will probably get waders, or at minimum,
boots. Insect repellent? Is it safe for fish?
Getting some Bag Buddies, have styros, bags. Do I need
O2 if I'm not crowding? Use CLOUT?
Notropis welaka I know how to ID - atleast the adults.
Good ID book reccomendation for anything else I may encounter?
Not that I'm going to bring them back - just interested in
Notropis welaka but it'd be good for my notes if I knew what
I caught (if anything) and where.
So any information that may help me succeed
would certainly be appreciated. Especially if you've
collected this species.
Thanks
