I'll eat em for ya...

 

So I was going to give you the reason that my cousin told me (the same cousin that I call uncle Si) about how they get them from resting in the weed beds, however, I decided to check the internet.  1st hit describes it well.  I have seen it up stream quite aways but not all the way to the head waters.  I think it has something to do with layover places but I do not know what causes it for certain.  Check this out.  I do not see it in the winter or spring.  Only summer and fall.
