New Net From Jonahs Aquarium

I ordered one of Jonah's Perfect Dipnets yesterday for use in Panama. These nets are almost indestructible, and have collapsing handles which is good for international air transit. The total cost is $80 but for my purposes that's almost cheap. I'll be chasing Brachyraphis episcopi around in streams, and they usually hang out in shallow water along the bank so I don't think a seine net is necessary to capture them.

Locally, we hope to get out to the Flint River this Saturday morning for driftnetting. The river level will hopefully be down after the rains over the weekend, and weather is predicted to be sunny and in the 70s.
