How big is it and in what kind of habitat did you find it?

I would have guess Pickerel, we have them all over by our pond. Some of them seem to be really dark like that guy too.

How big is it and in what kind of habitat did you find it?

It's about three plus inches long, another has also moved in that is about an inch shorter.

The habitat is a pondless waterfall that has been converted into a babbling brook.
They both spend the day next to the spillway under a large flat rock that covers the spillway.
Early evening they sit in the water and then take off for the bushes around dusk.
There is a small pond about a tenth of a mile away, no other water around that I know of.
There is a small "woods" area about seventy feet from the brook.


Thanks all!

Dan.
