Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone in the Buffalo, NY area wants to get together for a winter collecting outing. Nothing real big, just something to get our collecting fix until spring! I dont mind traveling during nicer weather, but just figured if anyone was lose by let me know.

Too far for me but reminds me of a trip to Niagra Falls I made years ago.
Standing on the walkway right at the lip of the falls, I noticed small fish, I'm pretty sure they were longnosed dace, that were hanging in the current a few feet from going over the falls. Wish I had a dip net, would have been a cool setting to collect, although I'm sure it's banned in the park. Just like sleeping in the park is banned

I think I read the cataractae in the species name of the longnose dace refers to their presence at Niagra falls. I however wonder if any fish could survive BELOW the falls, now THAT would be a unique niche to adapt to and one hard to sample.
As for collecting in New York, another NY trips sounds interesting but I have doubts on mid winter collecting. How do you plan on doing it?

This past summer a tagged musky in the upper Niagara River was recaptured below the falls in the lower river. The fish was close to 3-ft long and made the trip with no effects. It is likely that round gobies expanded their range in this manner as well.
