We collect easterns in SC with a good sturdy dipnet. It's much easier to
dip into the muddy vegetated habitat than to try to seine.

Us OSU folks went out this weekend to collect in some streams near Buckeye
Lake.(east-central Ohio) Not too much excitement yet. Here's the list
Central stonerollers-fat and happy
Blackstripe topminnows
Silverjaw minnows
Sand shiners
Striped shiners
Bluntnose minnows
Lots of HUGE creek chubs
One Rockbass
Johnny darters
Fantail darters, some pretty colorful
Surprisingly, no suckers, in what appeared to be very suitable habitat,
especially for Hogsuckers. Maybe they're still in deeper waters. We will
soon be looking for central mudminnows, does anyone have any tips or tricks
for efficiently catching these guys? I have been unsuccessful on solo
seining efforts, in known localities. Maybe minnow traps?
