Mississippi River collecting with Travis Haas (madtom15), Markus Zokan (mzokan), Dave Neely, Eileen (Markus' Lady Friend), and another fella from their school who's name slips my mind right now.
A seine haul with the big bag seine:

Some bighead carp in a slough where we caught a mess of Hiodon later:

Big Creek with Travis at Sam A. Baker State Park (just upstream of confluence with St. Francis River.
Stirring sediment to draw fish. Easily seen species are bleeding shiner, hornyhead chub, central longear and logperch.

More of the same, with a cyprinella (probably a spotfin) more prominent. Then some gilt darter. The one was going beneath
my hand, I appologize I couldn't get a good angle on this guy. Hanging downstream with one hand holding a big honkin' camera ain't easy

Sunfish city. Both longear and green sunfish. I thought this green was going to bite the camera. Notice the black spot on his dorsal fin, those of you who say that's solely a bluegill characteristic. And no, it's not a hybrid either.

Just the rigth amoutn of sun on this guy! I wish I could have gotten a better angle, but you, ahem, get the idea. Unbelieveable!
Big Creek 04.wmv (3.8 mb)
Weeping Willow Spring Stream, just upstream of confluence with Crane Pond Creek, Big Creek watershed.
This stream was TINY. That's why I had the crappy on-land footage left in there. Bleeding shiner, creek chub, hornyhead chub.

Can you find the sculpin before I get him to move? Nice mountain madtom footage too.

Rainbow darter doing his pretty rainbow darter thing.
