Myself and fellow nanfa member (gzeiger) hit up a few locations along the middle Savannah river and ajoining tribs. We mainly use dipnets as the locations didn't seem good seining areas.

We had a short but very different species list than either of us are used to.

Turquoise darters
Tesselated darter only one however they seemed to not be able to compete with the turquoise where we were I guess
Blackbanded darter (Percina Nigrofasciata (raneyi?)
Yellowfin shiners (
Fireyblack shiners
Dusky shiners
Green sunfish
Bluegill sunfish
least killifish :wink:

Please recheck your fish ID and location data;
according to Natureserve, Fieryblacks are no longer found in the Savanah River.

Depending on where they were, there are tribs of the Savannah that come very close to the Saluda River where fieryblacks are plentiful. Granted the description was the middle Savannah, which is vague and indicates, to me at least, an area around Aiken and Edgefield counties. There would not likely be any fieryblacks in this area whatsoever. The least killifish seems to be an odd fish there as well. That is a fish that is difficult to mis-ID, but I have never seen them in the middle Savannah area.

no it was an inside joke there was a poor dried up least killi in the car that had been a feeder we didnt technically catch any.
We were at one point close to the middle saluda and that was where we caught the fireyblacks
let me find my camera and I'll post some pics but I'm 100% sure of my ids most of the fish were in colour
