Bars are typically found in the slowest moving, shallowest parts of rivers and streams,[1] and are often parallel to the shore and occupy the area farthest from the thalweg.[2] The locations of bars are

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 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
