Thanks Chris
Thanks Chris. If you're near any streams, you might be able to find some of these fellas. They tend to swim around objects within the stream such as big rocks or tree limbs that are just there as a part of the stream, as was in my case. In fact, it was a canal... shallow enough to walk in and clear enough to see everything. :)
