Fishing for Mapleleaf mussel

The mapleleaf is a freshwater mussel with a squarish, yellowish-brown to dark shell covered by two rows of raised knobs or pustules separated by a smooth groove, resembling a maple leaf's lobes. It inhabits the mud, sand, and gravel of rivers and streams across central North America. The shell reaches about 4 inches. It lives partly buried in the bottom. This summary was AI generated
