On April 9th, 2010 we went on a trip to Glen’s Ditch. The weather was nice: sunny and blue skies, though a bit windy. Spring is coming! Down at Glen’s Ditch the marsh marigolds are finally sprouting! 46ºF was the air temperature, only 2º warmer than the water.
The water was super low, only 4 in deep! The water was moving very fast. It took only 4 seconds for the balsa wood to travel three feet in the water!
While we were trapping with nets, we caught a caddis fly larva, a worm, an arthropod, and six caddis flies!
Our next, and last, trip to Glen’s Ditch will be next week on April 30th. Our predictions for next week are sunny skies, warm weather, and that we will catch more, and different kinds of aquatic insects.
