Well, I was in Spartanburg SC yesterday, visiting some old friends. We went for a walk later in the afternoon and ventured over a creek! I looked down and I saw a good sized hole with loads of minnows residing there. I could see they were just beginning to color up, so later that day I came back after visiting a bit longer. On my way from leaving my friend's house I made stop by the stream. I didn't have very much equipment so I couldn't catch very many. But after about twenty minutes I had caught enough to satisfy me. I sorted out what I wanted and headed on my way. I wasn't looking for color but ones with the fewest defects, parasites, or infections (either fungal or bacterial). In the end I Kept four fish out of the lot and released to rest. These I photographed and have posted here:

I'm just having a little trouble nailing down what species they are. I think they're either Greenhead or Yellowfin shiners, but I can't tell between. Does anyone else have a guess or know?
P.S. i don't know why some of the pictures turned out upsidown. I'm rather new here, should I just delete and repost them in future topics?
