A great spot to find fish

Getting ready to net a fish

The nets scoop up the fish before they swim off

Got one in the net

Getting ready for another sweep a little farther upstream

Everyone ready?

A little rainbow trout

Several small trout and a whitefish

The first thing is to measure the length of the fish

First you have to catch them

Using the data logger

Let me try to catch one

Pretty nice little fish

Just a little guy

Now that is a beautiful fish

Have to weigh them

Let me look

Let me in there, I can catch it

I think I got it

Making sure the fish is okay

Weigh it

Measure it

Sometimes that’s easier said than done

Now that’s a good sized fish

Capture the data

Release the fish back into the stream
