Jellyfish in Cumberland

Apparantly you guys observed the jellyfish right after you tip toed through the mushroom patch. No such thing as freshwater jellyfish in North America. Now get off the crack and go fishing!

Dude, did you even read the previous posts in this thread? Or just trolling through?

No crack being smoked here,there are fresh water jellyfish.While not a true jellyfish but a jellyfish to anyone who sees it none the less.The difference between the fresh water and salt water is minimal at best.My brother told me he seen some in patoka about 6 or 7 years ago and i thought he was full of it just like most of the people i tell it to today.I was also told the water had to be really clean,which doesnt explain why i seen them in harrods creek but my buddy {bandit1} spotted them and i looked down and there they were,if still not a beleiver call the falls of ohio biologist and verify it yourself.
