I’ve been nymphing for suckers in the pool below the La Barriere Park bridge recently, and along with the suckers have managed the odd pike, walleye, drum and rock bass. Today I tied on a #24 nymph and caught a number of common shiners and a, new for me, (insert drum roll) River Shiner. At least that’s my interpretation but I’m certainly no expert. If anyone has an opinion, please leave it in the comment section.
I’ve received an expert opinion and my fish has been identified as a spotfin shiner. The giveaway is the dark pigmentation on the last two dorsal fin rays.
