2012 NANFA Convention in Ohio

I have been hoping to read more comments by attendees... and perhaps some photos.
It sure sounds like a fine time.

Here are some very unedited photos of our time there. I will try to label them later.

Thanks much Dustin and to all you other posters. I see a few folks in the people shots but i am going to take a crack at IDing these Ohio fish from a Tennessee Native!
1) Madtom unknown... watch out for that sharp spine!
2) Our mascot, the Bluebreast Darter.
3) Redhorse unknown... perhaps a Golden. I hope to spear one tomorrow.
4) Greenside with blurry wwwuuuus.
5) Madtom unknown or a baby cat
6) Rainbow Darter
7) Redside Shiner
Wow! What kind of Darter is this! Is it one of those that bury themselves in the sand?
9) Sculpin, by which one?
10) SRBD
11) My fav Ohio king of the Darters... Varigated! Varigatum?

The people shoots are a bit harder

Big Nick, Our Auctioneer, The GA Rep, The K Man and sweetheart, Jennie K, Todd, Our Treasurer, a WadingJack, a TNACI woman wishing she could snorkel...

I added some labels Casper.

Thanks to the organizers and trip leaders! And my regrets to those I didn't get to see. I was working and couldn't make it until Saturday. The canoe trip was great on Saturday, as was the Flushing trip on Sunday. The Flushing trip was not well attended, Flushing south got merged with Flushing north, and went north. (I intended to go south.) But it did give those of us who attended it a good chance to get well acquainted. And Justin, your knowledge was invaluable, and I enjoyed having you as a seining partner. There were some people I was looking forward to seeing again this year, and others I was looking forward to meeting, but you chose other trips. Perhaps in Kentucky! Has that date and place been set yet? I thought somebody mentioned something about the spring.

Thanks to those who have shared their convention stories and photos. It sounds like it was a great convention. I wish I could have been there. Hopefully I will be able to make the next one.
