I went to this spot knowing ahead of time from another member on here what species were in the creek. He told me: Redlip Shiners, Fathead Minnows, Speckled Killifish, Piedmont Darter and some others. Great spot for Darters. I caught over twenty and I wasn't trying to catch Darters. There were a mix of Tessies and mostly what I believe are Piedmonts.

Here is the weird one, was purple and red and it looked like it had fin rot and was dying.

This was the biggest and most beautiful Darter I have ever caught, thick and about two inches.

Here's what I see so far:

1, 2 Bluehead chub

3-6, 13-14, 17 Greenhead shiner

7 probably greenhead as well, but possibly a highback chub

8 Speckled killifish

9 fantail darter

10-12, 15-16  Seagreen darter

as usual Dustin is spot on. No 7 is a greenhead

I had a pretty good teacher...
