Keeping this as updated as possible, especially with pictures...

We will (hopefully) be pumping this dry very soon so we can resume digging and I thought it'd be fun to get a couple kids out there and see if we could catch us some tadpoles. My son dubbed this Operation: Pollywag Recovery.



No kidding, we caught near a thousand I'd guess. Simply "seining" with minnow nets. All different sizes of tadpoles. I tossed them into an aquarium at home to observe (and to feed my other fish).



Once we thought the bucket had reached its carrying capacity...



Water was very warm on the surface and gradually cooled as you got deeper. Very nice.
