Learn about the life of a stream by capturing May Flies, crayfish, fish,
Caddis Flies and their nymphs, and maybe a frog or two! Learn about
the food they eat and where they live in the stream. With some special
help from the Clearwater Conservancy, we'll find out just how healthy
the water is in our stream and spring!
