I am not sure about copepods but try your local creek in the spring  for Daphnia.  

I am not a biology student but we have a few here so hopefully they can say if this is right or wrong  but im pretty sure you cannot catch Copepods even with the smallest micron net.  

What do you need the copepods for ?why not try daphnia ?

You also may buy some quality LR and will get enough to start the culture in your tank. Besides copepods you could also get other interesting stuff... but not all hitchhikers are good :)

Zapisto is probally right, you are refering to saltwater,  Disregard my post.

well aiglos
let me tell you in creek you can found so many critters :)
but not all is good , but when you know them you can be amaze by the life in that.

beside of daphnia , you can have scuds (aka gammarus), mosquito larvae , fairy shrimp, rotifer, etcc....

it is just pain to select them and clean them
