My first whitefish ever, this fish came from 70' of water on lake champlain - a school of fish showed up on my vexilar suspended half way down, while i was fishing for perch...i reeled my spoon up to their level, and ended up catching quite a few - everyone said they tasted delicious

pretty sure thats a ciscoe or tulibee, has an under bite and a whitefish has an over bite.

Guys use big ones (8"-12") on tip ups for lakers at Lake George, in this area.

Ahh, the joys of common names... Cisco are still a whitefish, any way you slice it.  All salmonids from the subfamily Coregoninae, the whitefishes.

ahh yes, it is, but more specificlly Coregonus artedii is what i caught,
while, Coregonus clupeaformis is what i thought it was - same genus, different species

there is also what we canadians call rocky mountain whitefish(or rockies) which are common in alberta especially and round whitefish.

your whitefish are typically found in rivers too, right?  I've heard some people even
consider them a trash fish. is this true?

This should be the real deal.

well this answered my question,didn't know what a whitefish was.seen things sort of like that in a lake I fish .thought they were shads though?

Title: Re: Whitefish Pics
Post by: bigredonice on Jan 03, 2005, 08:39 PM

they very much resemble shad, and are refferred to as lake herring, but they are actually a salmonid.

Lake Placid is loaded with them, 4-5 pounders...tough keeping them away from the trolling rigs for 'bows and lakers in the summer.

Here is a 19 inch whitefish. Lost 4 more at the hole and all were bigger than this one.

I WOULD RATHER CATCH A MESS OF BIG WHITEFISH OVER ANY TROUT SPECIES. POUND FOR POUND THEY ARE THE HARDEST FIGHTING FISH IVE EVER CAUGHT. THEY TAKE AWHILE TO TIRE OUT. REAL HARD TO LINE UP IN THE HOLE.

Title: Re: Whitefish Pics
Post by: Madbomber on Jan 24, 2005, 09:30 PM

all that being said ware would be a good place to catch one in the cny area...any in lake Ontario tribs?

Those are all lake whitefish? Right? I'll try to get some of my pics of rocky mountain whitefish......they're a lot smaller but they fight just as hard...........I catch them all summer on the fly! Great fun when the rainbows are hard to find!
