Don't be swayed too much by lack of dots on the Illinois map.
Orangethroats are often much more widespread than what is shown on
maps. For example, I have seined up orangethroats in the Decatur area
but never pickled them; therefore, those records do not exist in the
INHS database.
They are a fun fish to keep, but I might be a little biased!
