    Ya, I think Klause was looking for a real fish net.

    He can get a minnow trap anywhere...

      Halfords in Edmonton used to have nets. Oh I remember that job well. One of the more brutal tasks in the world. They should have a show about it. Call it dugout harvest. Show the blue numb fingers trying to remove slippery, ice cold fish from twisted tangled fast freezing nets. Then show the same fingers trying to unravel frozen nets from the scattered pile at the fishers feet. Might need to be a silent movie. Cuz the cussing will be unreal!

      Rainbows I presume Klause? Good luck. There do look to be a few days near zero coming up. Hope they’re right.

              I went on a fish counting exercise with some government biologists one time. They shock the fish and they float to the top stunned for about half an hour then wake up. I'm sure it was a special generator they used but kinda looked like a welder and they put the cables in the water.

                    A lot of people over in the Annaheim, Lake Lenore area net fish every year. You’re not far away you must have some contacts over there.

                      Where is the best place to buy brook trout, etc for stocking dugouts or small lakes?
