Last week me and mike went to scout for Redfin Pickerel, Swamp Darter, Banded Sunfish, and Creek Chubsucker in the lowland streams of eastern and central NH, We found all but the swamp darters.
Here are a few pictures of the sites we went to (I forgot which is which but I think the 2nd and 3rd are the same site just different sides of the road).
Our first stop was at a marshy stretch of the Little Cohas River. Here we found 8 pumpkinseeds, 17 banded sunfish, 4 redfin pickerel, and 15 creek chubsuckers. This was by far our best and most productive spot. I did get a bit worried when I netted some leeches, but got none on me.
Here are some banded sunfish from this spot in Mike's photo tank.
And here is how Mike looks to the fish in his Photo Tank. I was trying to photograph the pickerel, the camera chose its own focus point,
The pumpkinseed here were unusual, they had heavilly banded sides and reddish operculum.
