Thursday morning, the excited river fellows packed into a bus and headed down the the Conasauga River! Eager and ready to go, we took off on our one hour ride. That short one hour ride turned into two due to limited signs in the national forest and taking a few wrong turns along the winding woodsy road. The ride was definitely work the wait, the Conasauga river did not disappoint! As we began to unpack out of the bus, we quickly stumbled onto the beautiful rier. Waiting for our arriver were our national forest service guides, prepared with wet suits and snorkeling goggles.
We all hopped into our wet suits and dove into the chilly water. In the water, we found a variety of fish including the freshwater drum, blue shiner, holiday darter, hog sucker, bridled darter, tricolor shiner, long nose gar, orange belly sunfish and many more! The long nose gar that we saw was the only one the guides had seen all season and it was definitely my favorite fish to spot. Overall I had a blast at the Conasauga river, and world love to go back and snorkel there again someday!
