Csteffen,
Sorry for the delay. My attendance on the site is sporadic at best. ANy way, Miranda's new paper can be found at : TAFS 137: 1358-1362, 2008
I can email you the .pdf if you want, but I'm sure you have access to Transactions.
I don't use AC too much myself either unless its been rectified. I'm in NW Missouri but rarely cross the Iowa line. I have fished Red Rock and Rathbun, though.
I know of the guy you're talking about in West Plains if he is the technician. I've seen their boat that has the continuous recirc system built in for trout sampling in the rivers, which I thought was pretty cool. I also know Dave and Mary. I worked for MDC for several years in the NW part of the state and out of the research center in Columbia.
It is dangerous to get in the water, but I watched and learned from the best- Jim Reynolds (AK) and Alan Temple (WV).
Are you originally from Missouri?
