NFC: RE: Re:Colecting trip now: collecting during drought conditions
>Any thoughts or comments on what happens to the fish population during
unusually dry conditions?
Some species in headwater streams will be completely eliminated during a
prolonged drougt. They need to be repopulated from further downstream after
the rains.
Sometimes it's only in the deepest of pools that the fish can survive. Even
when it looks like the water is just in the pools, there is still current
flowing underground through the rocks so the water doesn't completely become
stagnant.
I like collecting then. The fish (if there are any) have to be in those
pools.
