Text SizeWhen using dip nets to sample macroinvertebrates, a fish or two are often discovered in the sample. This provides an opportunity to find out more about fish species presence and abundance in our waterways. North Central Waterwatch has developed the fish identification and distribution program to make the most of this opportunity.
