Todd,

I can likely meet you on the Little Musk in two weekends...sure, if you can bring a few mudminnows that would be excellent.

Do you already have a locale where you plan on sampling? Also, do the folks in your department know where to go for muskies? I can show you some of the better riffles in the stream and have the access logistics figured out at all of them.... I am not too in tune with the bivalve locations however. If you don't already know where you are going I can assist.

Mike,

Probably up in the Killbuck marshes would be your closest bet. Mark Binkley
will have much better information about that than I.

However, I will be coming down to sample on the Little Muskingum in two
weekends. I'd be happy to grab you some of the Oak Openings Best if you'd
like to meet up. I just have to hop into a ditch and I've got 'em.

And to further that idea... You're of course, invited to join us on the
outing, and any one else is invited to attend as well. But I'm not
schedulding a formal outing. This is with some of the guys in my department
who are really gung ho about catching an Ohio muskie, and I don't know how
this will pan out, and I'm in no situation to be worried about it. The
worst case scenario for my lady friend and buddy is... We jet on Saturday
afternoon over to the Scioto watershed, stay at Paint Creek, and enjoy the
fine geological, biological, and anthropological history found in that area
for the rest of our Fall Break. :)

If you're interested, drop me an email.

Todd

southeastern Ohio the better. There is a void in this area. I am aware
of a few from OSU that were unable to find them in the canals/ditches near
Buckeye Lake (In fact, I think I learned that while searching the NANFA
archives). I am looking for a decent locality where if I drive a few hours
I can be sure to capture 2 or 3 for my aquarium.
