I'd like to do some collecting near Raleigh if anyone would like to go. I've got a 4' cast net and a small seine (no clue what to do with it) as well as a minnow trap and dip net. I'm pretty inexperienced at collecting fish with anything other than rod and reel, but I'd love to get an education . Give me a heads up if you're interested. I'm available every Sunday, plus some weekday evenings.

Warm Up???? JohnO and I have been out and had to remove ice from the surface to collect fish!! Insulated pants/shirt and waterproof insulated gloves is all you need. It's crazy when you pull your net out of the water and it freezes nearly instantly.
.......ok, so I haven't been out in the cold yet either this year, but I would if the opportunity came along.

June 10 (a Friday) the Raleigh Aquarium Society has a collecting trip scheduled as part of their annual conference. (Thats 3 weeks after our NANFA conference in VA). That's a looong way off so we might do something sooner too, maybe around March. I'll keep you posted.

I will probably be driving to Concord to visit family within the next 3 months or so. I would be happy to meet up for a few hours on a sunday on my way back up to VA. I will shoot you a PM when I know what my plans will be

Reminds me of opening day of trout when I lived in PA. Some years we'd still have snow and ice and you have to keep chipping ice off the rod eyes. Good times!!
I miss those days too mike. Since I moved to the city I dont go on opening day here. Its all shoulder to shoulder and everyones rude or trying to snag the palomino's in the face so it looks like it was a legit catch & theres no fish commissioner around to report them. And I'd get arrested for tossing the explanative in the stream for doing it.

I know what you mean. I hated fishing crowded areas, having to get there the night before to get a good spot, etc. I preferred fishing at our family cabin in Potter County where there are more like 10 anglers every half mile or so as opposed to 10 every 50':
