Ray Cottrell and Randy Sprouse (in hat) seine for hellgrammites in the Trap Stewart Hole near the mouth of Hazy Creek
Summary
Event: Seining for hellgrammites on Coal River.
Seining is a technique which involves raising rocks and allowing the water to carry what's underneath into the net held downstream.
Hellgramites, also known as grampus, are the larva of the dobson fly, and are favored by the small-mouthed bass in Coal River. The seine used here is a net suspended between two broom handles.
