Aug 15 1804 Clark and party fish on Ohio Creek
Clark and ten men trailed a creek near a Creek named by Beavers to a village area. They dragged nets and caught 318 fish including bass perch catfish and a silverfish. I also note shrimp shapes similar to New Orleans fisheries. The stretch from Beaver Pond to a nearby straight is crowded with muscles fat ducks and river life.
