BARS A bar in a river is an elevated region of sediment (such as sand or gravel) that has been deposited by the flow. Types of bars include mid-channel bars (also called braid bars, and common in braided rivers), point bars (common in meandering rivers), and mouth bars (common in river deltas).

Ohio could easily fall into those categories. Avon Lake, however is not one of those places, even if it feels just as low in terms of progressive thinking sometimes. Avon Lake, Ohio, is a suburb nestled in the Cleveland area, directly on the shore of Lake Erie. We make fun of Erie, because we know it’s full of actual trash and carp mating on the top of waves because they don’t give a rodent’s tuchus, but we also know, deep down, that the lake is probably our best asset. Because of it, we’ve got

Cutlassfish (Trichiurus lepturus) is a cosmopolitan coastal species fished in warm and warm-temperate waters around the world. The occurrence of cutlassfish near thermal fronts in this latitudinal range indicates that oceanographic and biological interactions can be critical to define optimum environmental conditions for this species(Nakamura and Parin, 1993). Cutlassfish is more abundant at temperatures of over 16°C and in the 40-120 m depth range. From late spring to fall, juveniles of 5-30 cm
