This weekend won't be good for me. What about next Saturday?

Dragon, I never noticed any stripes on the adults. Do they typically get obscured by stuff in the water? Can you show us a few pictures of some adult red bellies with stripes on their head? Gabe

I think another trip is in order. Who's up for a paddle?

Reviving this thread. In another thread, I said: Guy responded: I must agree. Guy, are you suggesting that more research is needed to know that the stream was channelized for the cranberry operation, or are you suggesting that more research is needed to even know that there was...

Nice pun!

Deal!

Ben, I owe you some beer!

Now I'm confused! :confused:
