I've been fishing for suckers the last while in an attempt to get a few of the species I'm missing. I've been hoping for a quillback but today a shorthead redhorse answered my call. The small fish sucked in a #12 beaded green caddis .
The La Salle River is full of white suckers right now and I've literally caught 100s while hooking only one golden redhorse and this shorthead. Yesterday, while fishing Sturgeon Creek, I found a pod of these fish that seemed to be grazing on the algae on the river rocks in fairly shallow water. After about a hour, I did hook one on a #16 pheasant tail but it got off. Other than that one fish, all ignored a nymph, including some dangled right in front of their face.
