A large, colorful darter of rocky riffles. Found in clean, fast rivers statewide. Occasionally caught on tiny hooks while trout fishing in fast water.
No stocking records are on file for Greenside Darter.
This is common for several reasons: this species may reproduce naturally and not require stocking (e.g. Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike), it may be managed under a different program not tracked here, or records may predate our database. For the most current data, check the Michigan DNR Stocking Database directly.
