QUARRY PICTURES

You are allowed to keep any quantities of all the common fish.  These include Knightia eocaena, Knightia alta, Diplomystus dentatus, Mioplosus labracoides, Phareodus encaustus, Phareodus testis, and Priscacara liops, Priscacara serrata, Priscacara hypsacantha, and Amphiplaga brachyptera.  Anything rare or uncommon will be handled by a case-by-case basis.

The quarry shown below is not our personal quarry that you will be digging in.  This quarry is on the other side of the hill from ours but until I get pictures of ours in this will help give you an idea of what to expect.  The crate that you see in the pictures belong to "share diggers."  A share digger is someone who comes and digs for an extended length of time and instead of paying to dig the share digger has to surrender 1/2 of his/her fish and all of the rare finds to the quarry operator.  These type digs are usually done on a 2 week minimum but will vary from quarry to quarry.  I personally will allow share diggers but they need to be approved ahead of time.
