Re: [Killietalk] water scorpions when collecting native fish.

["Harry Specht" <aus62 at comcast_net>]

First off I can honestly say I have never been bitten by a water scorpion 
after innumerable collecting ttrips in Florida, primarily in shallow water. 
Shoes -- any type, from tennis shoes, to old loafers, are a must. One's 
biggest concern should be  broken bottles or sticks on the bottom of the 
murky water filled pools and ditches. Shoes will protect ones feet. If one 
is concenred about water scorpions simply wear dungarees or old slacks to 
protect your legs.

Yes, collecting is alays fun and one never knows what fish will be 
collected. See you in Tampa -- and bring some old shoes. .
