Paint Creek, Greene County, Tennessee. This creek enters the French Broad 

 River some 120 m downstream of the North Carolina/Tennessee line (Fig. 7). Its 

 status as threatened appears to be conservative.

Logperch, Percina caprodes (Rafinesque) 



The logperch occurs from central Canada and the upper Mississippi 

 River and adjacent drainages south to the Gulf of Mexico, and on Atlantic Slope 

 drainages from the Hudson River south to portions of the Chesapeake Bay 

 drainage (Rohde et al. 1994). In North Carolina it is known from four sites in 

 the French Broad River between Redmon Dam and the Tennessee state line 

 (Harned 1979) (Fig. 8), four specimens were collected below Redmon Dam in 

 1986 and 1987 (Birchfield et al. 1987) (Fig. 8), and from one site in the New 

 River, Allegheny County (Menhinick 1986). We collected eight adults (88-132 

 mm SL) at four sites in the downstream reaches of the French Broad River and 

 at two sites in the downstream portion of Spring Creek, Madison County on 13 

 May; 19, 22 July; and 5 November 1994 (Fig. 8). One specimen was taken in
