Internship week 11:

For this class we looked at biodiversity and aquatic ecosystems. So at the start of class I went out the edge of the whitaker pond and set about 5 fish plexiglass fish traps. What happened next makes me the official king of fish trap setting; because within 15 minutes of finishing setting the traps, I had already caught 2 large-mouth bass, in traps designed to catch 1 inch minnows! :) Anyways, the rest of the class went great. The students used dip nets to screen the grasses and catch mostly minnows, but we did catch several freshwater shrimp and a dragonfly nymph.
