Small creek West Smithfield, NC (Neuse watershed)
My favorite and most productive collection spot. Nice, clean, fast flowing, clear and sandy with rocky structure and gravel bed around the bend. (thanks Gerald!)
Moxostoma cervinium
Juvenile redbreast? It was released
One of the two P. roanokas
Also released
Was a productive day and a lot of fun! First day I've ever tried kick netting....and then I broke the hoop...was a $12 Frabill from Walmart. Picked up another today and I'm going to try to fix this one. Won't hurt to have two! Think seining could do even better but I've never done that alone either. Might look into DIYing one small enough for one person.
