Striped Bass (Morone saxatilis) can be found where the New River has been dammed near Radford(Claytor Lake). Claytor Lake is periodically stocked with striped bass, which tend to travel upstream. Striped bass live in schools and prefer large freshwater resevoirs and lakes, and as a result, have been stocked in nearly all of Virginia's resevoirs.
Margined Madtom (Noturus insignis) is native to the New River Drainage Area, but has also been introduced to the various other rivers in Virginia including the Potomac, James, and York. It looks like a small catfish, with a long body and large eye. It prefers mild to moderate sloping creeks and larger rivers.
