an odd experience... here in chattanooga just south a friend lost his remote
control boat in a pond. i catch glass shrimp here along w/ topminnows. it is
also close to a mountain stream where i snorkel in the spring til it turns
green w/ algae. while i was wading in this murky pond up to my very chin i could
feel lumps which i took to be the boat. i reached down w/ my net and came up w/
a big rough textured clam... many of them were felt during this wade... i
think they are called wash board clams. i thought it very odd they would be
prospering in this small pond such a long way from the river proper. is this a
natural habitat for them? i think the pond is spring fed via underground seepage.
lots of people fish here for bass. lots of vegetation. very murky. muskrats
and beavers are there too. i always thought mollusks liked flowing water.
