Jonathan and I collected briefly in Bear Creek the next day (just SW of
Atlanta), but we didn't encounter any substantial high water. We caught
stonerollers, hogsuckers, 1 logperch, a variety of darters, and some
mystery shiners. I'm giving them a few days to color up before I try to
make a positive ID. They are a light purple and have very fine scales. The
dorsal has a band of red followed by another color that looks like it may
become blue. They have very short faces with the eyes set forward. If I get
stumped, I may appeal to the CRI for help.
