Poage Trout Release

Tandy,

Thanks, the numbers look great. Brian Radcliffe has put you on his schedule for May 26th. However, you may want to be at stream side at 10:00 AM and plan for Brian to guide the students with rolling over the rocks and catching the insects they find with nets so they can be identified and counted to test the biological water quality before the lunch picnic. Doing the Catch the Critter game with the students during class time is good preparation for this activity. During water testing and lunch time someone can add about a cup of stream water to the tank water every 15 minutes until the tank water becomes the same as the stream water temperature. Then the students can release the trout into their new home stream after lunch.

Thanks,

Don
