Toward the end of the afternoon, the Long-Term Ecological Research team (Ted Bier, Camille Bruhn and Nora O'Neil Hickey) pulled a Fyke Net in off of the Halser Lab pier as visitors looked on.
Ted Bier explains how a Fyke Net diverts fish into a chamber where they can be held until researchers pull them out of the water. Unlike other forms of netting, Fyke nets help keep fish alive so they can be returned to the lake.
Ted Bier shows the crowd a bullhead pulled from the Fyke Net.
