This specimen appears to be of the same species as this one collected in the same spot two months earlier. The identification of both is tentative. This one suffered some physical damage before being photographed, too, so the colors aren't totally natural. I was mostly photographing it to test out some new camera setting idea, which worked really well for a couple of closeups.

I don't know - why don't you ask some guys along the river? A couple of my friends fish there and don't seem to have any trouble parking.

You might get a better response from forum members if you introduce yourself since it is your first posting. Why all caps? Many people consider all caps as "talking loud".
