Field Notes

I am happy because we had little fish in the trap. I see water,grass,leaves,tress and people and I smell fish. I am surprised by what we found because we didn't find anything in Baxter woods pond. Why did we catch fish at evergreen pond and not baxter pond.

Interesting question in your field notes. So why do you think you didn't catch any fish in the Baxter Woods pond? Have a guess or hypothesis you want to throw out there?

Great evidence photos...an even greater photo of your trap...a "wicked greatest" photo of our site.
