Gond Posted July 4, 2017 Posted July 4, 2017 Sorry if this is in the wrong place. I am still learning my way around. I was fishing in a small creek on my grandparents property in central Indiana. This creek feeds Cicero Creek then in to Morse Reservoir. I was hoping for some pan fish but all I caught was these little guys and I don't know what they are. The largest one I caught was around 6 inches. Can anyone identify it or point me to the right resource to identify it. All of the resources I found only list the popular sport and eating fish around. Any help would be much appreciated. see more pics with link below. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B3WHi1WfPl1udUFTTDAtWmkzZVU?usp=sharing Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted July 5, 2017 Global Moderator Posted July 5, 2017 Looks like the creek chubs we have around here. They're excellent bait for walleye and catfish. I've never tried to eat one but I'd imagine you could. 2 Quote

Thanks for all the replies! Quote
mrpao Posted July 14, 2017 Posted July 14, 2017 From what I've seen, they can get about double that size and trout fisherman regularly catch them on flies. They do make great bait for bass and catfish though. 1 Quote
