electrofishing!





Upstream in woodcock creek we went electrofishing, which is when 2 guys from the fish and boat commision came with ghostbuster-pack-looking things on their back and stuck metal detector looking things in the water that stunned the animals in the water. they would become temporarily paralyzed so we could catch them. we identified many kinds of fish. we also caught a footlong mudpuppy, an aquatic salamander.
