Re: [Killietalk] West Coast Weekend Schedule of events --Tirbak'stalk history talk
Hi Bob
I'll try to arrange a collecting trip if we can schedule it in. A good
friend of mine works with Stickle backs and has the permits needed.
Schedules might be a bit tight for this. Does anyone know of a good slough
in the Portland area? A couple traps is all we'd need. They pile up in the
traps like sardines.
If not I might be able to bring you a few captive raised fish.
When do you arrive and depart?
Best fishes

I'm hoping we'll have a few hours to do some local collecting for
sticklebacks or other natives.
