Hi Bill – canyoncreek is actually the one who gave me the idea for the SFS. Last we talked, he didn’t know how efficient he’d be in getting a meaningful number collected yet. Then I found Go Fish Farm in Stryker, OH, which is the place I contacted about the SFS. My kids are always up for a road trip, so just figured I’d head down there and grab some experimental RES while I was at it. Maybe I could get some SFS from some streams as well.
As for the BNM, I’ve read they also would be a good fit. I need to get a lot better at identifying my minnows first, maybe there’s an app for that now 😊 I did just buy a minnow trap, would be fun to take the kids along. Although being located in the thumb of Michigan, there aren’t many clear "steams" close by - mostly just drainage ditches.
