Below is a link to the complete list of water quality and biological surveys done by the EPA in Ohio. When you first open a study on one of your favorite streams you think what a incomprehensible miss mash. Why did Steve ever think this was worthwhile? Well what you gotta do is scroll down thru the hundreds of pages in the appendices of flow charts and nutrient loads and gobbligook till you get to the sampling data for the different locations along each stream. Here you will find a complete species list AND how common each is in that stretch of river. It may be cool to have one mountain madtom but if there are three hundred emerald shiners guess which one you should think about imitating with your lure...

if you take the time to really look at your favorite streams data it will change how you fish it next summer
