Pond Dipping and Electro-fishing
Posted: Saturday 3 August, 2013
Thursday 25th July saw perfect weather for our annual Pond Dipping and Electro-fishing event. Lead by Peter Cunningham, from Wester Ross Fisheries Trust, the group explored the aquatic habitat of the burns and lochans in Laide Wood. They managed to identify a range of water dwelling creatures, including dragonfly nymphs and water boatmen.
Peter also demonstrated electro-fishing, using a probe to temporarily immobilise small trout so that they could be measured before being released unharmed back into the burn. Thanks to Peter Cunningham for an excellent afternoon.
