Here are some pictures from a fish collecting trip in the Wabash River in Lafayette, Indiana (NW Indiana) August 2, 1999.  Pictures are in no particular order.  The Wabash is considered to be one of the most, if not THE most diverse stream in the US. 

An * means we also saw that fish August 7 in the Vermillion River in Illinois during the NANFA convention.  We saw many more species, especially minnows.    I didn't photograph many small fish because I didn't have the proper lens on my camera.  If I misidentified a fish please tell me.

• seining the river.  We also electrofished, which yielded the larger fish (redhorse, channel catfish, drum, etc.) pictured below.

• bluebreast darter*  Rather dark-- sorry.
  
• bluntnose minnow*  Most widely-distributed fish in Indiana.
  
• river carpsucker* Carpiodes carpio   In biomass, these were probably the most abundant fish species we found, and certainly the forage base for many of the larger predators like channel catfish and Micropterus.
