Hello fellow fish enthusiasts. My name is Joe Neel, a professional aquarist from Richmond, VA. My main focus is on Virginia natives, both marine and freshwater species. I am looking forward to having some great discussions with most, if not all of you.
Until then, please feel free to contact me should you have any questions or comments.
Happy Holidays!!!
Joe Neel

Welcome fellow Virginian! I live in the mountains of Blacksburg but until recently resided in Fredericksburg. Glad to see you here! Let me know if I can be of any assistance if you need help finding or collecting anything.

There is an amazing amount of diversity up here. I have only gotten out a handful of times to explore, but I have been very impressed thus far. Can't wait to shake the cold weather and get in the water some more. At some point I wanna get down to your part of the state and collect some coastal plain species though. There is some beautiful water your way, too.

Awesome I will! I have done a lot of photography and snorkeling this past year, and hopefully in the next few weeks I will be putting together a nice "year in review" series of trip reports. Keep checking the forum! I had lots of adventures volunteering with DGIF I am looking forward to sharing.

There is supposed to be a strange isolated upland population in Craig Creek up near me, but I haven't gotten a chance to check it out yet. They should be common just east of Richmond though.
If you haven't seen it yet, check out http://gis.vcu.edu/instar/ for some useful data. Very nice little application they have there, though I have found a few anomalies probably caused by multiple streams with the same name. If you're interested I can give you a spot of two near Fredericksburg/Bowling Green that are loaded with chains.

Welcome to NANFA. If you want to see some new fish, you should consider this years annual convention in KY

I just joined the forum and am getting back into keeping natives. I am currently keeping hogsuckers, madtoms and darters from the North Fork of the Rivanna River. I am interested in getting some top minnows, Fundulus. Can you suggest any sites in your area I should try ? If you have an interest in collecting here have property on the river. Thanks, MG
