I think a graphite reproduction would be appropriate. Yeap. Graphite.
Just get one of the "drips" off a bass reproduction, take a dremel to it,
and you're golden.
By the way, a week ago, I think we caught the state record least darters.
These puppies were pushing 45 mm! Absolute monsters!
I also didn't realize that the male's anal fin gets "tippecanoe orange"
during spawning. Pretty neat. I'm a dork though, and of course, forgot my
camera ;)
