A warm winter day yields delightful aquatic gems.

Great pics! Do you use a chiller?

Nope.
The water is about 73-74 degrees.

Nice darters.I got a green side and a banded sculpin last week for my pond.

Nice, I would like to find some banded sculpins in my sein.

I usually find my sculpins in colder streams in the riffles. Flip some of the bigger rocks.

Keep in mind, sculpins will attempt to eat fish their own size.
