I couldn't figure out the snail (looks a bit like some Elimia species) or the bug on the upper left. Do you have any more pics of those guys?

there are some pretty neat fish up in those backwaters up there. really neat to see a stonefly, I never caught them on a regular basis in the area, they do seem more common in the winter though.

the stone fly was in every pool of water over three feet deep.maybe they did'nt freeze out.

Yes, much better. The bug is a different type of stonefly, the snail is a pond or "pouch" snail (family Physidae).

Nice wheat penny too!

THANKS NEWT, on a side note there was two ohio state people there collecting today as well.

all they collected was snails.they did ask if i was from around the area and did i see any changes
i said yes i have the river is lower now a days
and the clams/mussels have very thin shells now

plus the frogs are gone.
i dont see the beavers anymore like we use to.
and theres only one or to types of craw fish now
