Wondering if anyone had any information on good locations to catch wild brine shrimp. I know Arthur might know a spot or two. I want to head out to the lake with some butterfly nets and gather some.

Anyone know a good spot? Method?

Looks like I'm just commenting on ALL your posts hahaha. I love getting live brine shrimp, we should definitely do a collection trip soon it might even help with your new endeavor we've discussed a little bit.

The harvesting was great a few weeks ago. We parked at the marina out by the great saltair and netted off the public dock. We had more than enough shrimp in less than an hour.
