Re: NFC: Minnow Traps and Rain
Good advice. This happened to me once last year. Left a trap at a remote
site overnight and heavy rains came in. The next day the trap was
completely covered with mud and not even visible. I was hard pressed to
get it out of the muck and I saw no evidence of anything having been in
it, although it's posible that eveything was "chewed up" by the heavy
silt flow.
