OK - i looked again and compared some pics: you guys are right, the saffron is a saffron.
Dustin what's your thought on the fish labelled "comely shiner" ?
Chub w/o tubercles: i dunno about the slim head thing ... Help! Fritz!

I'm not sure I have ever disagreed with Gerald on NC fish but I agree with Ben that the saffron is a saffron.

The photos are great Ben. I wouldn't apologize. Gerald - are blueheads in the Eno? That would be how I would separate them if appropriate. I will agree with Ben that it looks different from blueheads but I can't put my finger on why and certainly couldn't be sure without tubercles.

Yup -- the Neuse, Tar and Dan/Roanoke river basins have both bluehead and bull chubs. In small creeks I think they're all blueheads, but in bigger creeks and rivers we have both species, with blueheads generally more common. Maybe I'll be a bluehead chub for Halloween - my son is an Enderman. I wonder how big a rock I can carry around in my mouth for an hour or two?

hmmm ... i might be thinking of spectrunculus, not amblops. I just dont get to those TN basins very often, so those spp aren't as clear in my memory as atlantic slope spp, Do red fins and dark lips "fit" spectrunculus?
I think I recall seeing amblops (bigeye chub) with a little red in the fins, probably in French Broad or Toe River basins.
Shiner from New River looks like saffron again.
