Enter at your own risk. Sometimes work doesn’t deal you the easy card. Examining the point of entry as we prepare to launch our survey boats into the river off of a concrete bridge abutment. #onlyinmn #minnesota #mytruenorth #ottertailriver #streamsurvey #fisheriesmanagement #worklife https://www.instagram.com/p/BxjMwMThnMZ/?igshid=151qmib2goxh3

Yin and Yang. Was out earlier this week conducting spring survey and tagging efforts for lake sturgeon on the Otter Tail River system. Played net boy on the shocker boat so I wasn’t able to work up fish and get many photo opportunities. Managed to score a quick break to photograph these fish after netting a dozen sturgeon out of a pool and sending them over to the other boat crew to work up. I was somehow able to dip net both of these fish at the same time in the heavy current which is not typical nor an easy task. Can’t claim much for skill on that one other than dumb luck. #onlyinmn #mytruenorth #ottertailriver #fisheriesmanagement #streamsurvey #lakesturgeon #worklife https://www.instagram.com/p/BxgkKBjhiJe/?igshid=1nv88p2uf7dxw

Electrofishing fish flop. Streamside fails. Tried to grab a specimen photo during a recent stream electrofishing survey and ended up with a fumble . Should’ve known better and just left the fish on the bump board. That’s what I get for being vain 😂 #onlyinmn #minnesota #detroitlakes #brooktrout #fisheriesmanagement #streamsurvey #worklife

Rat-tail You don't have to put on the red light. Just a little ditty I overheard streamside to help pass the time. 🤣 #streamsurvey #fisheriesmanagement #licensedollarsatwork #minnesota #fishnerd #mndnrstud #streamsidehumor
