NFC Hosts Ohio Women on the Fly native fish sampling event...

The Ohio chapter of NFC recently hosted a native fish sampling event for Ohio Women on the Fly at Olentangy River, a unique aquatic ecosystem in central Ohio.

OH NFC used seining and dip-netting to capture 16 native species of fish: mimic, rosyface, sand, silver, and spotfin shiner, banded, bluebreast, greenside, Johnny, and rainbow darter, bluntnose and fathead minnow, Northern hog sucker, green sunfish, bluegill, and brook silverside.

Special thanks to OH NFC Chair Cameron Layne, Secretary Paul Derolf, and board member Liesel Fenstermaker for making this important educational event happen.
