It's almost new years and once again I am planning fish trips and goals for the next year. And likely as usual I will only do one or two at most.
What do I have in mind?
1, continue trying to catch every legally catchable fish in the state and find locations where populations are strong enough to collect them.
2. maybe take a sampling trip to western Vermont, Canada, or Maine.
3. Catch a red bellied dace in spawning color
4. photograph a fallfish spawning or a sturgeon spawning
What fish plans do you have for the new year.

Since I missed last year's convention, top of my list is getting to this year's in Kentucky. Next up would be getting out and actually collecting. I've been down here about a year and a half and still have not gotten out into any local waters. Oh yeah and move my fish tanks to yet another new home.

Collect a few banded killies for my tank. I know of a big school. They laugh & taunt me everytime I return with out a partner while weilding a mere minnow net. They require something more. An army and a scene that could span the mississippi. And to discover what kind of burrowing crayfish I discovered locally. I found their burrows but didnt have time or tools to extract any.

I'd like to continue microfishing and track down some of the more interesting micros in WI before I graduate and move out of the state. Slimy sculpin, brook stickleback, central mudminnow, northern redbelly dace, banded darter, fantail darter, banded killifish, and stonecat are the some of the ones I'll be looking for.

A tip on catching banded killies for the two of you after them. Usually when I see them they are in tiny calm grassy pockets connected to a main river, some carely big enough to fit a net in. (though I have seen a school of them in a pond in mass, and alot throughout a river on the cape, usually in my corner of the state with one exception I see them in tiny calm pockets connected to rivers.)

My school is found in a wide section of stream, shallow but has no structure. She they just blow right by me & my net. I need to build a small wing dam and then herd them to it but forget the idea by the time I get there.A tip on catching banded killies for the two of you after them.

I'm really looking forward to the spring/summer "tubbing" season. Planning on starting earlier this year and setting up more tanks and tubs outdoors with hopes of getting some dwarf sunfish to spawn.
