Collecting loaches?

I've decided to try to collect some of the locally occurring Spiny Loach (Cobitis taenia), and am wondering if anyone has any tips on how to do this?

Electrofishing and beach seine is out of the question (illegal).

netting is the way to go.

You could try a bottle trap. Click here for a simple one.

If you can manage to have contact with anyone who owns the fishing rights for the specific water, you can get permission to use a seine, it´s so much easier. Try the Lovö waterplant for a start.
