Yeah, I wouldn't mess with the red shiners. They are on VA's restricted list.

Drew, what's your current thinking on the schedule/itinerary for each day? (Assuming no heavy rain the rest of this week).
We are going to meet up Saturday morning around South Boston, VA. There are a couple of spots that we can hit on or near the Dan in that area. We are then going to head NW towards Roanoke and hit locations on the way. I think we may end up in Martinsville for the night which shouldn't leave us a long drive to meet you guys in NC if you don't join us for Saturday.
We can meet early Sunday morning at that location Fritz mentioned. It shouldn't take us no more than an hour to get down there if we do end up in Martinsville. I can work with Fritz Saturday night on getting locations for Sunday. But if there are specific locations that you want to go to, let me know. Not counting your kids, we may a total of 8 on Sunday.

On Sunday, I'm thinking about 2 spots on Dan, maybe snorkeling in Smith or Mayo if water is clear and then 1-2 spots for P. oreas and F. rathbuni. But if y'all want to do something different, tha'ts fine. I've seen all of these guys and just want to get out with my buds.

I'm trying to find a good spot to meet, but we want to be near Cluster Springs, VA. I need to talk to Derek to see when he can leave which will determine the meeting time Saturday morning. If the southern guys go Friday night, we'll try to be there as early as possible. Also, that would give us a good place to meet, that is wherever they stay. Don't forget, bring the snorkel gear!

The park in Danbury that Fritz mentioned is called Moratock Park. Heading north on NC-8/NC-89 into Danbury, turn right on Sheppard Mill Rd (SR-1652), cross the river and the park is right there. Or, we could do the Mayo River near Mayodan first, a little closer than Danbury. I think I remember some riffles at that lowermost bridge just above the Dan confluence.

Moratock Park Access, Dan River Trail, Town of Danbury, NC. From NC Highway 89 travel east on Sheppard Mill Road, for less than 0.5 miles. Cross the Dan River. Both sides of Sheppard Mill Road are in Moratock Park. At the east end of the bridge turn right on unpaved one-lane track lined with dogwood trees, continuing 0.5 miles to boat landing steps. On left see the 1843 Moratock Iron Furnace and North Carolina Civil War Trail marker.

Is there anybody who is coming on Sunday that would like two Dollar Sunfish, 2.5 - 3 inch from Rockingham NC in the PeeDee basin?
Larger one is male, smaller one i'm not sure. They are NOT buddies and will need to be kept apart initially, perhaps with a screen divider until they get used to each other.
