>
> I'm planning a short trip down to Florida July 4th weekend
> and want to spend a day trying to find Notropis welaka.
> Things I've got going against me....
>
> 1) Never collected before
> 2) Trying to find a fish that others have had difficulty finding
> 3) Giving myself only one day for it
>
>
> So far, from what I've gathered online.
> Good spots include areas where a smaller stream meets
> a larger one in 2-4 ft of water.
>
> Use a seine - with the help of one more person. Dip nets
> are helpful. In July, the juvis can be found at shoreline
> vegetation. (Although I doubt I'll be able to ID them)
>
> Precautions, snakes, gators, bugs - so I'm going to be as
> careful as I can - will probably get waders, or at minimum,
> boots. Insect repellent? Is it safe for fish?
>
> Getting some Bag Buddies, have styros, bags. Do I need
> O2 if I'm not crowding? Use CLOUT?
>
> Notropis welaka I know how to ID - atleast the adults.
> Good ID book reccomendation for anything else I may encounter?
> Not that I'm going to bring them back - just interested in
> Notropis welaka but it'd be good for my notes if I knew what
> I caught (if anything) and where.
>
> So any information that may help me succeed
> would certainly be appreciated. Especially if you've
> collected this species.
