2 easy ways to be sure you have a mud. 1) It has a rounded caudal fin. 2) When you rub your hand along its flank from its tail towards its head, it is smooth. This is because it has cycloid, rather than ctenoid scales.

Snail bullhead would be mottled, have a dark blotch at the base of the dorsal fin, larger eyes and pigmentation on the chin barbels. There are snail bullheads there, but they are typically in the vegetation where the flow is the fastest near the deep channel.

It's a swamp. There are swamp, sawcheek, tesselated, savannah and blackbanded darters there. I also caught a turquoise there once, but that was a long time ago before they replaced the bridge and it silted up.

Wow if I would have known that many species of Darters were there I would have fished for those more. Also the spot is beautiful, I did take an involuntary dip neck deep in there today though, you really have to watch your footing haha.

I also got into a huge school of Crappie, I caught twenty or more until they were getting annoying and I moved. Lined Topminnow were everywhere and easy to net, Mudminnows were a little harder to get while Blackbanded Sunfish showed up two at a time in spots.
