Spent all day Friday working the seine. Here are some of the fish and other creatures I caught in the net.

Looks like an Orangefin, Fantail and Rainbow Darters unless I'm mistaken. I've collected near there before, also pulled up some Madtoms, believe they were Elegant but not sure. Thanks for sharing!

I think that it actually an orangethroat darter, it lacked red in the anal fin. I was hoping for some madtoms and redhorse, but none were to be found.
