I hit the river yesterday looking for Blotchside Logperch and Blotched Chubs. I found a lot of juvi Blotchsides and one very skittish adult, but sadly no Blotched Chubs this time.

Thanks. No, but when the strobes fired he took off like a shot; almost over the top of my camera.

nice pics, the queen snake pic is really cool, Iam pretty sure there's no way I'd be caught that close to any snake on purpose lol

Great photos as always Bryce! Jealous of your little blotchsides. I've seen a few of them, but it's only been a flash here and there right around where point where they disappear into the murky depths.

I think your third photo may be a Phenacobius, rather than an Erimystax. It's hard for me to tell from that angle, plus I have relatively little experience with them, but I'd vote probably either P. uranops or P. crassilabrum.

Great shot of the queen snake too. They always seem to swim off before I can get the camera pointed at them.

We've noticed that blotched chubs have become more common in the part of the Flint River in 'bama where we work. On Saturday we caught some of the largest we've ever seen, around 70 ml SL, but didn't keep them since we were after whitetails and stripeds, in particular. This time of year they're in the strongest flow where the main current enters the top of a flowing pool.

Liln must be rubbing off on me. Something about that redline is particularly appealing. Love the photo.

Female Redlines are certainly sexy and sassy in their own way. Any female who could tolerate the male of their species being so spectacular deserves my respect!
