I used the shiner and before I got to the river a lot of them died or did when I put them in that hot water.
The guy that owns the bait shop told me he stops selling shiners until it gets cool--customers were totally unhappy.
These minnows are said to stand water to 140 %---
I am going to ask him the exact name--they have to be legal--he is licensed in Arkansas.
They also come in three sizes--Crappie---Bass and Trotline
