Extreme Philly Fishing is a life lister fisher. He actually has gear to catch as small as dace. He is also very knowledgeable about native nanos and could be a contact to help identify some of your finds. Loving these videos.
I am just loving theses videos and yes please continue to share with us we love you and all your videos, hope you are enjoying your rafting and adventures in the wild. Love and hugs from North Carolina.
The dilute TDS is probably due to the humunfous amounts of rain New England got during jUly. REcord amounts of rain on pretty much a daily basis for that month, and the record continues for August. Climatologists believe this has to do with the lack of air travel caused by Covid 19 lockfowns and lack of surface and sea travel as well. Lack of polutant particulates ansorbing solar radiation.
When I was there, it had been profoundly dry and water levels were exceptionally low. Almost unrunnable on the rivers. Chamberlain lake is also dammed, so controlled levels. We did have some rain while out there
Rachel thank you so much for your content you've been sharing lately ❤️ it is so wonderful and inspirational!!! You are absolutely the best my friend!! I hope you have continued success and enjoyment on your journey!! Thank you so much for sharing with all of us!!❤️🌿🐟🌿🙏
All the snails and clams could just be under the substrate as that's how they are here in Ohio, I didn't even know we had them until my friend showed me how to find them
I’ve been there!! I dated a guy who went to college in Fort Kent (we were both from Brunswick, Maine!) Northern Maine is so beautiful ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩 (but I won’t go back north during the winter ever again 😪💔)
OMG Rachel. I'm from up there. So stoked you you have been there. They are the only crustaceans I have ever seen up there. I left there in 2017 due to lack of work and diversity. Unfortunately, this administration will soon be destroying the Allagash waterway mining for minerals. I'm in awe you discovered us, up there.
Definitely Black Nosed Dace. We have them EVERYWHERE up here in Maine. If there's water, theyre in it. You dont see snails up here in general, especially northern Maine, but in southern Maine you see more. We only have Crawfish for crustations, no shrimp. Up here in Maine, all snails and shrimp are illegal to buy, sell and keep.
Have you ever seen Giant Water Bugs in the wild? I once saw quite a few in a small pond in the Rincon Mountains in Arizona. I never expected to see these creatures, but there they were! Big as life, or Giant actually. Very much like your work, good luck from Arizona.
From BC Canada, I've only been to Maine once, on the rocky coast which was awesome, but I missed exploring the intriguing forest country inland, so very glad for this fascinating video and hope for more! Looks like great paddling country but wind and paddling makes for interesting times. If you get a chance I recommend the "Waterwalker" film at Canada's NFB youtube channel. Canoeist and Instructor Bill Mason has a segment where he's swamped in very windy Lake Superior and almost didn't make shore while his cameraman doesn't lend a hand. For much of the film Bill is alone using his own camera gear in Ontario's remote river country.
I am 67 years old and have been in the hobby continuously since I was 5 or 6 years of age. I have kept wild fish all along. there are lots of different small fish that can adapt to aquariums. Darters and Scalpins are very interesting but require live food or frozen food such as frozen mosquito larva and frozen brine shrimp. Little catfish are interesting but grow large. There are Mad Tom varieties of catfish that remain small but have a very venomous sting so be careful handling them. Of course, any wild catfish should be handled carefully but mad toms especially. The problem is identifying them so just be careful handling any of them. They eat anything that will fit in their mouths and are a good scavenger in the right aquarium. Crayfish are immensely interesting to watch in the Aquarium and are terrific scavengers. They will eat your fish if they can catch them. Fish that sleep near the bottom are most at risk. Small crayfish are safer but some fish will also attack and eat crayfish. That is the nature of the hobby in knowing what you can put with what. I have kept bluegill and Sunfish in my aquariums. As a child, I had a pet bluegill that would jump above the water to eat flies I would hold by their wing right out of my fingers. If you are not able to go wading in the creek as I am due to age you can buy yourself a whole school of feeder minnows at the bet or bait store very cheap. Minnows are cool because they school and they are fun to watch when they often swim together. There are lots of interesting fish that are expensive but if you are a senior like me or a young hobbyist with little money minnows are cheap. It really isn't about price. You can have and enjoy an aquarium on a shoestring budget. In my sixty-plus years in the hobby, I have never gotten bored with the hobby. There are live plants, aquaponics, breeding, and so many facets to the hobby. I have one-inch tubes connecting my tanks that the fish swim back and forth from tank to tank. I have aquatic plants and grow terrestrial plants on top of my tanks. Splashing around in the creek is fun. I am going to have to find some younger aquarists to go with me to the creeks to keep an eye on me. It is so much fun catching wild fish and collecting wild plants. If you've never done it try it. You will have a good time.
Thanks a bunch for sharing your adventures. I was impressed that you had water testing tools along. That shows your dedication being that you certainly had to pack light. You also gave a a great underwater view, I'm always looking in water from the top so I don't see the full beauty of the local fish. I 'm interested in the environment and like learning about native vs. invasive non- native plants and animals.
Great video. I grew up in the area and spent many-a-day with a diving mask and watching the brook trout feed from some of the deeper holes. Thanks for bringing me home.
I use to love seeing your videos on fish tanks and stuff why have you stopped doing them 😫 I use put you on in the background while I do a water change
Hey I have a few questions about Zebra Spixi Snails! I used to own a fish tank which had one betta in, but unfortunately the betta died after years of me owning it. In the tank I had two Spixi Snails which I don’t have anywhere for so I put in a spare tank, but I can’t keep the other tank forever. However I do have a large tropical aquarium, but one that already has rabbit snails and black spike snails. Would the Spixis eat the other snails? And they have a bit of algae on their shells would this spread into my clean aquarium? Thank you!
Yes definitely digging these types of videos my bad knees no longer allow me to seek out water environments to enjoy so I'm currently living vicariously through you guys on your adventures. Love your point of view and of course all the fish talk, so to say, of each place. Many Thanks
This is pretty cool, Rachel. I didn't know that Jungle Val is native to N. America. Is it the same - I don't know the right terminology - variety or type as what we'd buy from the LFS?
What a beautiful place Rachel. Such Fun!!! This is a wonderful distraction to all the fires we're having out here. Many friends have been affected or lost homes. 😢 I really look forward to your vids, always informative and Fun!! Fish must be thinking, Hey, this bigfoot wears sandals!! 😅 Thanks for the share Rachel. 👍🥳
I would love to see regional biotopes! I have minnows in my wetlands in eastern ontario and I want to identify them and maybe one day set up a biotopes for them.
Thanks for sharing this Rachel! I really enjoyed seeing the local stream, such a treat!!
Thanks alex!
Hey Alex!! 👋
Love this type of video. Wife and I canoed the Ausable River for more than 40 years do miss those Adventures.

I enjoy coming along on your adventures, inspires me to look closer at nature where I am too. 💚
Awesome!
I absolutely love these videos! The info about the water is intriguing and the footage is beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you!
👍😎 Nice Rachel. Glad the knees is holding up. Really like seeing this with you. Looks like you’re having a great time. 👍
Love this Rachel, thanks so much for bringing us along

The new videos are so cool Rachel! So interesting, lots of ideas for biotopes too
Very nice information, a big quantity of fish, cool
I'm loving these videos. 😊
Those fish are so pretty. I'd love to see you set up a regional biotope when you have time. 😊

Now we know the truth! She paints her toenails :)
At least a couple of times a year 😂
@@RachelOLeary BTW keep up the videos there great really!

They look like little black neon or penguin tetra obviously not but great looking n healthy habitat love this
Yea! I thought they were super cute
Love this, the underwater footage awesome !! Also that landscape looked very squatchy , Have fun be careful out there

More please Rachel!Stay safe out there.
Love this. I remember seeing these little guys on my adventures too. Show us more.
Great footage & you needed this outdoor getaway ( SO CALM , QUIET & NO HUMANS DRIVING ETC. )
Yes please, regional biotope tanks! I would love to see a north american hillstream tank with redbelly dace!
Thank you so much Rachel for your videos. So nice to see all the beautiful places there are around us.
How cool!
If you are allowed to collect hardscape from these biotopes as you go
I’ve been there!! I dated a guy who went to college in Fort Kent (we were both from Brunswick, Maine!) Northern Maine is so beautiful ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩 (but I won’t go back north during the winter ever again 😪💔)

They are Black Nosed Dace. Wish I had known you were heading there. We have a camp about 20 miles from there.
There’s another (cryptic) fish species in the video, a freshwater sculpin I think. Middle of the screen, about two-thirds over and @ 1:21 it blinks.

Amazing video! Love it. I think those fish look like Creek Chubs. Keep up the good work.
Great video. I grew up in the area and spent many-a-day with a diving mask and watching the brook trout feed from some of the deeper holes. Thanks for bringing me home.
Cool video! And the fish were intriguing. Bet you wanted to take some home! Very interesting little fish!
I still had a week plus left on the trail! They were super neat, and unique to that spot
We used to see lots of fish like that in our local rivers but it doesn't look like it did 30 years ago, I suspect pollution killed them off?
I use to love seeing your videos on fish tanks and stuff why have you stopped doing them 😫 I use put you on in the background while I do a water change
Very Interesting. being a fish enthusiast since I was a kid I really enjoy content like this!
Regional biotopes sound fascinating!
Ayy! Hope you enjoyed aroostook county 😁
Gorgeous habitat video! Great video!!
I don't like this content. I LOVE this content!
Loving the content 😁👍

They shouldn't eat the other snails. You can take a clean soft toothbrush to their shell to remove algae

My knee replacement is for all of us with these videos!
Not sure why but, cannot hear you in this video.
Ooo More Alagash!
love this please continue!
Looks like a awesome trip
Cool stuff, thank you!!
This is quite interesting.

Its American Val, which is sold as an aquarium plant but can get wicked tall

@@RachelOLeary most definitely. Housing a friend's cockatoo pair while he's evacuated.
So good
Love these videos as much as your tank videos , beautiful scenery 😍
Love seeing the natural underwater world of fish.
Does it tickle to get yoir toes nibbles on? :D
Hahaha, not as much as spa fish, but yes
