With all the controversy about the loggers destroying the habitat, and on and on, Here is proof of what is going on. Good or bad, these are scientific results, and not a bunch of bar stool philosophers.
Everybody should check with your local biologists to see where they are installing the screw traps on a stream near you, and go and look at one of the these in operation ;I am convinced you will be quite surprised.
I have worked with these crews for years and am still surprised with the results and the timing of the migration of each separate species.
