When You're in the Zone

When You're in the Zone, and by zone, I mean wading up a small creek agitating the creek bed and trying the catch whatever is stirred up. 

Day three and it was time to head out with the fresh water team. 

10 Things to learn:

1. How to agitate the water

2. How to catch the important things

3. How to wash the mud out that you caught but weren't meant to 

4. How great it is that your waders don't leak

5. Freshwater crayfish nip

6. Processing the things you find is awesome

7. Microscopes allow you to see so much detail

8. Identifying species is incredibly detailed

9. Native snails are TINY!

10. There is so much diversity in every small creek
