encounter walleye, striped bass, white bass, blue catfish, and flathead catfish.

One-way float trips are possible along this section of the river. Kayakers,
canoe fishermen, and other small boat enthusiasts frequently navigate from
Danville to Milton, South Boston to Aarons Creek, or other routes.

The Dan River is also recognized for its rare and unique fish. One unusual resident is the Roanoke hogsucker,
a species that occurs nowhere else but the Dan River basin. Similar in appearance to the Northern hogsucker,
the Roanoke hogsucker uses its unique mouth and body shape to hug rocks in the bottom of the river.

The Dan River system also contains the Roanoke logperch (Percina rex), a federally listed endangered species.
The Roanoke logperch is found in the Chowan River basin and the Roanoke River basin.

The Dan River received national attentionBacteria and Hoverflies (Diptera: Syrphidae) in Tree Hollows From the Iberian Mediterranean Forest.
Saproxylic insect communities inhabiting tree hollows in Mediterranean forests depend on a combination of physical characteristics and interactions occurring between community member species. Despite the need to preserve these organisms, little is known about their interrelationships, in particular those relationships between saproxylic insects and microbiota occurring in these microhabitats. In tree hollows of Quercus rotundifolia Lamark that hold water and contain dead leaves, abundant microbial populations can be found. Developing on them are the larvae of Mallota dusmeti Andréu, 1926 (Diptera: Syrphidae), a vulnerable species (IUCN category: Marcos-García and Quinto 2011). This study provides the first data on the microbiota living inside the gut of the larvae of M. dusmeti, as well as the microbiota in
