I was at work today I work on a beef farm we were putting up fence by a small river. Probably about 10 ft or so wide and I was wading across to put fence on both sides. I say wading but its probably 5ft deep in the deepest spot. Where I was it was probably only 2 foot but in about 1 foot of water I saw a small 6" fish. I know its a fish it wasn't algae a twig or snake. It was built like a birchir exactly like one. I think it may have been a american eel, but I haven't ever seen one in the area I live in. It was a light brown 6" long pencil thin trying to get up stream and my boss was walking behind me or I would have stopped to examine it more thoroughly... I live in Ohio, anyone know what kind of fish it could have been? If you need more description ill write up more on its looks. But it was brown 6" long obviously a juvenile it was about the size of a pencil and had fins by the sides of its head.
