Index of Subjects Thanks Paul. Actually wildlife (including fish) is much better at sampling than most people. :o) Andrew >>> Paul MacDonald <paulrita2001@yahoo.com> 12/15/2011 11:50 am >>> Thanks Andrew The clams are about 5 mm in length and about the same in width. The shells are delicate - almost translucent so perhaps its fingernail clam. They are much smaller and delicate than some I found in a Black Duck a few years ago. I have saved some so if you would like some, I could send some. Sounds if cleaning trout would be a good way to inventory lakes.

Lewis Hinks had some good trout books showing that trout would eat pretty-well anything that would fit in their mouths Andrew >>> Paul MacDonald <paulrita2001@yahoo.com> 12/13/2011 5:16 pm >>> Hi All While cleaning a trout for supper, I found the stomach full of small pea clams. A couple of snails also. The trout was caught this afternoon. The pea clams were real small and almost translucent. I haven't looked them up in any reference but it is interesting what we find in stomachs. Have a nice evening Paul
