#minnow — Public Fediverse posts

I made it back up to the Nantahala National Forest this past weekend. The leaves were not yet in full swing, but they were beautiful all the same.

I did not see a trout. The fish in the photo is a rosyside dace (a minnow). It ate a size 18 wet fly.

Small ponds in #Minnesota prairies may help save #minnow species https://phys.org/news/2024-06-small-ponds-minnesota-prairies-minnow.html

"The #TopekaShiner, a rare and endangered #fish, is only found in the few remaining #prairies in the #Midwest. A decade ago it looked well on the way to #extinction. But #scientists and #conservationists may have unlocked the secret to bringing it back, as well as a host of other #prairie life. And it all depends on small unnamed #ponds called oxbows."
