What's a "Slick"?

[hornyheadchub]

I'm a fish Biologist and professional Laboratory Aquaculturist.

All things fish is my love, my job, my passion.

I participated in a two year (2000-2002) comprehensive study of the relative stream health of both Bull and Swan Creeks and several of their tribs. We employed the EPA's Index of Biotic Integrity protocol to 'rate' stream helath based on fish population dynamics and Physical Habitat parameters. This involved block netting a stretch of stream (150-300 meters) and methodically removing, identifying, and counting every fish we could possibly remove from said stretch via Electrofishers and then seines. Very hard work, very exhausting.

Here is a picture of a typical day at work.

Plus I grew up knee deep in those creeks.
