Got back a little while ago, we didn't do so well tonight, no Shiners and a few Darters, since I already have the ones we caught tonight, I didnt take any home. I found several water snakes, I love catching snakes, frogs, crawdads and misc. fish.

I took the seine and cast net as well, didn't catch a thing in the net, still need to learn how to cast it, this one is 2 foot larger than my last one. We fished for a few but the hole was very shallow, most of the bass were in inches in water where we were seining.

Looks like fun! Cast nets look really hard on the fish, from what I've seen. I wouldn't recommend that if you're not wanting to just eat the catch.

Nice photos. Pretty flowers. I like the looks of your seine partner as well. That is a Greenside Darter. See the woo woo u u u's on the sides? They get big and colorful in the spring. Your squeezing the frog to hard... look at those eyes a bulging!
Cast nets are hard on fish... gills and fins getting caught. All those slabs should have all kinds of fish under them. Sculpins, darters, madtoms. Try setting a small seine or big dipnet and then lifting the rocks and kicking into the seine downstream. I can't recall what kind of snake that is? Teeny tiny type of Garter perhaps?
I am surprised you made it out of a place called Gunpowder Creek!
Looks like a fun day.

I need to take a trip with you

We do a lot of rock flipping under and above water, what we usually run into are crawdads and snakes. Here and there a few fish come out but our best luck are all the small rocks around the edge of of the creeks, ripples, funnels etc.

I make it out every time, I carry with me, never know what you or who you may meet in the back woods of KY

Nice pictures! That's a good lookin' stream. Is the water down a little? It looks pretty flat to have a bottom that sediment-free. From the looks of the shores it looks like it might get a good flushing every spring though. And I assume in KY there's the possibility the gradient is a little more substantial above or below that area. Not used to seeing that much slab, "my" wild rocks tend to have rounder edges. I enjoy wildflowers, like to see those.

Love to come on here and see new (to me) stuff. Thanks for posting.

Yea this is my first one that I can remember. I was after a Northern Water Snake but he slipped out on me, was a little bigger than this one.

That's a great lookin frog. How many kisses did it take to turn it into that princess?
We might see some queen snakes during the NC conference in June - they're fairly common in the western 2/3 of NC.
Flowers: my guesses are bouncing bet (purple) and wingstem (yellow).
