Nope – it's not a geoduck. Both of these are gaper/horse clams. Left: Photo by Dana Brown, flickr; Right: Photo by Dave Cowles, wallawalla.edu. Nothing says "summer" like digging for steamer clams in Puget Sound. But the Pacific Northwest is known for its B.O.U.S.s (Bivalves Of Unusual Size), and if you dig deep enough, you may unearth a monster instead of a manila. The gaper clams (a.k.a. horse clams) are one such behemoth. Instead of being viewed as a prize, however, they are often met with disappointment. Geoduck hunters, don't despair — the humble gaper is a treasure in its own right. Mind the gape The quality of gaper clams might be up for debate, but no one can dispute the quantity. A gaper's oval-shaped, chalky-white shell can grow to a length of about eight inches (about the same as a geoduck). Two species of gapers occur in Puget Sound: the fat gaper or Alaskan gaper ( Tresus capax ), and the less-

Upcoming turkey season triggers fishing memory - Farmerville Gazette

If you hunt or fish, you'll find there are some activities that are more highly revered than others, at least they are by zealots of the sport. Take quail hunting, for example. While quail in our part of the country have basically gone the way of the Studebaker, there are those who still keep a brace of pointers and seek out those widely scattered pockets of cover that may hold a covey or two. Why? Because quail hunting is so special to them; they just can't entertain thoughts that quail numbers continue to shrink. Then there are the fly fishermen. The average angler heads for the lake or the creek bank armed with rods and reels, or a cane pole and bucket of worms.

5 Best Pet Fish For Your Aquarium, Ranked - Study Finds

Whether a fish can be considered a companion is subjective. For some, the tranquil movements and vivid colors of fish swimming in an aquarium offer a sense of calm and connection. On the other hand, the lack of tactile interaction and a fish's inherent nature means they don't engage with their owners like a dog or cat would. Regardless, the best pet fish make for the perfect first pets that don't require any much demanding, hands-on care and teach responsibility to young children. Swimming in a fish bowl isn't quite the same as Nemo navigating the great barrier reef, but fish can provide a great sense of entertainment and relaxation. Which fish make the best pets? StudyFinds did the research, and we've created a list of the top five best pet fish that will take your aquarium to the next level. There are a few favorites on the list and some surprises as well, but it encompasses everything from beginner-friendly swimmers to fancier varieties. Comment below if
