Hitch and Suckers in Kelsey Creek below the Detention Dam
March 18, 2009

	A large spiral school of hitch in Kelsey Creek below the detention dam, which has been releasing water for the past two days.
	A school of suckers moving upstream just ahead of the hitch in the picture above
	Seven suckers apparently leading: a much larger school of migrating hitch: "at times they would even swim together, though the suckers were always at the front of the pack."
Just below the detention structure at 4PM: can they get through all this? Amazingly enough, many do. all photos on this page © Philip Murphy
