So, yesterday I walked down to the creek by my house to get some creek chubs for my Coosa Bass. Thought I'd share some photos from the couple minutes I spent there.
Creek.
Orangethroat Darter:
I kept one for some higher quality photos:
Not too shabby for that little creek that's a minute from my door, walking.. Also caught Fantails, but mostly smaller ones.

Beautiful fish! Very cool little "home" creek you have there!

Wow - impressive fish! Any chance you could get your neighbors (or yourself) to quit mowing the creek banks and let some trees or deep-rooted shrubs grow along there? just a suggestion to better protect the habitat ...

I wish. The HOA keeps it like this. There is a creek(ditch) at the back of my property and I have purposely let it grow up since I moved there.

Beautiful. Interesting that it has so much blue. Would this be the undescribed Thoroughbred Darter?

One more reason I will never again live with an HOA. Might be worth taking one of those darters to the next meeting and proposing they relax a bit though. I can almost guarantee none of them have ever really thought about it and are just the kind of people who join HOAs and think mowing is what you do with the stuff outside the house.

Absolutely beautiful fish, is that a drainage off silver creek or the river?

It's off Taylor Fork, which is a trib to Silver creek then the river.

If it's off Roundstone, you're in the Rockcastle River drainage. You may find Orangethroats and possibly even Striped Darters

It is a Phree country. You could always move to the fish. But then there is life and work and all that stuff that keeps us from playing all the time. Darn it!
