>volunteer kickoff for this season work on river restoration. We were a
>break out session, doing stream sampling. This was on Paint Creek, a
>cold-water tributary of the Clinton River running though the northern
>suburbs of Detroit. Lots of sculpins and blacknose dace along with
>fatheads, an unidentified sucker and one northern redbelly dace and one
>rainbow darter. The dace was bright lemon yellow and very exciting, as we
>never caught redbellys there before. We set up a 10-gallon aquarium on a
>sidewalk 10 feet from the Paint Creek. This was right out side of the
>local
>public library and along with the attendees we short stopped many children
>with their parents going to get books. A lot of "regular" people got a
>short program on minnows, darters, sculpins, suckers and sunfish. Although
>the biggest hit with the kids was a big crawfish.
