If we do decide to sample the Kankakee, NANFA will have cleaning equipment on site so all gear will be sanitized before we leave the site. If you don't want your sampling equipment sanitized, please don't bring it along. We discovered zebra mussels on our last visit and VHS is heavy on my mind as well.

Sorry to quote myself but that didn't come out right. I should add that I have a great many nets (enough to keep 10-12 people busy) and I'm always happy to use the nets with partners. If you're concerned about bleaching your net, I have plenty I'm willing to put through the decon process.

Mark and I sampled a section of the Mazon this spring. Limited access for the "good sites". I think we found the site you visited. Very different part of the river than sections I've previously sampled.
Did the trip show any River Redhorse?

Unfortunately it did not. It was still "spring high" water which reduced our mobility. Actually the launch site was the most disappointing site we visited that day. It was too early to sample such large water. We sampled smaller streams the rest of the day.

So you guys didn't go out at all huh? I was going to try to head out to the vermillion tomorrow. Do you think the water is gonna be too high?

The Vermilion is pushing about twice the volume it usually should be at this time of year but it's usually pretty low. I would guess you can cross the riffles but the water clarity should be pretty bad.
