The Safari
Do you remember playing in the creeks as a kid? Well here is your opportunity to relive those childhood moments! We're heading to the watersheds of the Piedmont of South Carolina to sein and catch all different types fish, frogs, and crustaceans. You'll be surprised at how many different types of fish live in your local creek that aren't Bream, Bass, or Catfish. At certain times of year the fish we'll find like Bluehead Chub, Yellowfin Shiner, and Piedmont Darters can look like those you would find on a tropical reef in the ocean! This kid-friendly safari is the perfect opportunity to get the whole family outside and make memories you'll be talking about for years to come!

You will need to wear clothes you don't mind getting wet as well as closed-toed shoes. We suggest old sneakers or work boots.
