>BIG SEQUATCHIE RIVER:
>
>This beautiful river had, perhaps, the best footing of the day, although
>there were deep drop-offs and areas of swift current. The riffles yielded
>up some beautiful darters. While some of the guys pulled the seine, dipnets
>were also used with astonishing success. A stray dog adopted the party for
>awhile, but wouldn't venture very far from the bank. This stop offered the
>best diversity with 21 species collected/observed:
>

>Dusky darter (P. sciera)
>Redline darter (Etheostoma rufilineatum)
