Fyke Netting

A couple of months ago we were able to go out with Jac and Anna (the IP) and do some fyke netting at discovery bay. We were looking for forage fish and out migrating smolt numbers. The crew split in two and covered two little channels. It's always a good day when you can put the wadders on and play in the water. The group I was with only caught 2 sculpin in our net and we surveyed about 7 other sculpin. The other group had many more fish than we did. On the car ride over we learned our plant of the week, which was indian plum. I'm busy looking at the flowers of indian plum so that I can show the rest of the crew the difference between the male and female flowers.
