Slow and steady will win the underwater race, but don't let those strong beak like jaws get ahold of your toes!

A good friend and I took our kayaks during the summer of 2020 to paddle up into Citico Creek as it is about to flow into the Little River at the upper end of Tellico Lake. Citico Creek is a drainage from the Cherokee National Forest and has clean water as part of its watershed is Wilderness area.


A stop on a rocky beach after a paddle across the main channel and up into the riverbed above the back up from Tellico dam way downstream.

I noticed a different movement besides the current flow. 


A series of different waves were moving beneath the surface. Small brown streaks flowing with a natural synchronization in the water with continual changes but still in harmony. 

Just watch and try to understand or guess how they do this without much effort but like an all in on every portion of this dance with a group choreography moving together. 

Watch and enjoy!
