The bittersweet moment that is likely the last night of field work for the year #Susquehanna #Walleyes

Sun sets on the 2022 #Susquehanna adult #Smallmouth #Bass surveys. Suitable flows allowed us to complete surveys at the middle and lower Susquehanna and Juniata rivers over the last two weeks including two new sites in the lower Susquehanna River. ⁦@pafishandboat⁩

Enjoyed the opportunity this summer to assist @USFWSFisheries with collection of adult #American #Eels, along side @ichthyoAaron, for a telemetry study to understand the hurdles along the way as they head back to the ocean to spawn @pafishandboat #fishsci #scicomm #susquehanna

The iris of a male #smallmouth #bass changes during the spawning season from its more typical maroon coloration to this brilliant scarlet. Theories abound from attracting females or looking like a more fierce nest protector #susquehanna

A large #Northern #Pike captured during a cold, blustery day on the #Susquehanna near Shickshinny conducting a #Muskellunge survey. Esocids in this portion of the river are maintained though natural reproduction. #fishsci #scicomm @pafishandboat 🎥: A. Frey

Heading up-lake to pull gill nets for the last of day of the #stripedbass survey at #Raystown Lake. Relative abundance and age and growth data will be generated from this survey to evaluate management @pafishandboat

Recently the USGS in NY lost a piece of equipment while measuring high flows on the Delaware River. The equipment is an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler. If found please contact Andy Waite (518-560-0756, [email protected]) Charlie Besteder (518-912-4467, [email protected])

Another night on the river for a #bass survey. Unfortunately, looks like we only have a one-night “weather” window this time. #susquehanna #blackbass #smallmouthbass #electrofishing

Inadvertent capture today made for a great opportunity for data collection. Scales and pelvic fin ray for age determination and a PIT tag in hopes we’ll catch her again. 📷 S. Stark. #muskellunge #musky #Susquehanna #bigrivers #fishsci #toothy #esox – at Pennsylvania, USA
