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
