Ones they have on Great Lake are different Sea Lampreys . Ones here in the South are Chestnut Lampreys, We usually see them on Crappie in my area each spring .
I think Lampreys are a pretty common occurrence in some waters but I got to wondering just how wide spread are these creatures across the country?
Have any of you have experienced Lampreys in the state you live in?

I've seen them up in Michigan but not so much here in Indiana.
I hear they are in Ohio, but never seen any
Lot of them in Lake Champlain here in Vermont - they treat a lot of the feeder streams here every year.
I've never seen them here in Pa on the lakes I fish.
I occasional see one every once in a great while on East fork of the White River in southern Indiana. They don't get as big as the ones in the Great Lakes.
We see them every once in awhile. Slimy and gross. I usually grab them with a pair of pliers and sling em!
Never seen one in Ms.
