There is an abundance of them at the arkansas river there was an island shaped like an L in the middle of the river covered in rocks so me and a friend waded out to it and flipped rocks at the bottom of the L that was sticking out into the water and the first rock we flipped had seven under it we assumed that was just where they got landed when swimming down the river so we tested it by releasing one up stream a little bit and boom he showed up at the bottom of the L!
