You are correct.fallfish all day
Looks like PiKE Bait!
Almost looks like a whitefish.
The common names are fall fish, Laker bait, Fisk bait, largest minnow. Also, not bad eating, shiners are better however.Oddfish
have caught many of them. called chubs in maine but it is a fallfish.
I have eaten 42 species of NH fish, minnows beat trout for flavor all day.. Eat minnows and thank me later!
Thanks for all the feedback... my first thought when I pulled it up was that it was a sucker but thought the same thing about the mouth... wasn't on the bottom like a sucker. Wasn't sure what I had as I was pulling it in on the tip-up... but on a slow day like this one was really didn't care!This one went back in the lake to be eaten another day...
Yea... a buddy of mine said he has had a blast at times finding them in bunches and keeping busy with every fly cast... I just started fly fishing last season and would welcome that kind of activity... though I get your point about taking home bait when you are targeting something else.
Those Buggers are EVERYWHERE!
A buddy of mine saw this photo and told me he thought it was a dace - but it seemed large to me for that species and looking on-line I am thinking it is a Fallfish.The Clark's guide has this listed as a baitfish for this body of water - so I am leaning that way.Figured someone here may be able to settle this... and if not maybe it would make good conversation...(Image removed from quote.)

Tidbit hidden deep in a post. Where you find fallfish you will likely find trout.OD
