Field Demonstration

The field demonstration will include the proper setup of backpack electrofishing equipment along with trouble shooting common issues people face in the field. The instructors will then demonstrate previously taught techniques and practices in a local stream with backpack electrofishing gear. Participants will be given the opportunity to provide direction to the instructors to carry out a multitude of electrofishing scenarios.
