I started uploading pics from the 2014 convention. Not sure if I should add the forestry center, auction, plant, and animal pics or not.
On the way down me and Mike made a couple stops in Virginia where we found a variety of minnows, sculpins, and darters.
One sculpin I thought was a darter at first due to the reddish line on its dorsal, this picture does not do it justice.
in NC it took a bit to find a tangerine darter, and teamwork to catch it. But we got one.
I think this is a greenfin darter, not sure now as it has been a while. But it's fins ARE green
We lucked out with the blotchside logperch, it was right by the entry point. Odd for an endangered species to be so convenient.
I loved the fantail darters. They had so much variety from one individual to another. Here are a couple pics of a carolina fantail.
Stonerollers were common and an easy catch

Not every catch was a fish though
one person modified a cooler to have a viewing window, giving us a good look at the fireyblacks inside of it
alot of success was had by the seiners
Seine in one hand, dip ner in the other. Mike looks ready to catch the whole world.

Blotchside logperch can be surprisingly abundant where found, their big problem is widespread habitat destruction. I could take you to places in the upper Paint Rock River system in NE Alabama where we could catch a bunch but it's very localized.

The same can be said of east Tennessee Blotchsides.

Your Greenfin is actually a Greenside.
But those are good photos! Love that Tangerine Darter!

Looks like a musk turtle.
