Rickshaw swami 4,321 Posted May 8 Report Share Posted May 8 Spent some more time in the Mountains looking for warrior bass again. I bought me a life straw so I could filter water to lighten my load so I could travel faster.Water tasted great. Endangered vermillion darter in the last pic.roughly 2 inches long.took a while to sneak up close enough for a picture. 15 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
