fishizzle Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Its a new species (to us) my friend discovered at a local lake while ice fishing. The lake is 500 acres and 60' deep. Is it a stupid question to ask if it could be a main forage for bass? Thanks. Quote
Tokyo Tony Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 I can say with 100% certainty that the creature in the picture is in fact a fish. I mainly came in to tell you to change your avi. You're no trout fisherman. Quote
Super User Lund Explorer Posted January 29, 2011 Super User Posted January 29, 2011 Sure looks like one to me, but not positive. It's not a rainbow smelt unless you guys have smelt that are a lot bigger than the ones we have here. Probably a different sub-species. Quote

I'm sure like any other fish small enough for a bass to eat that is plays some kind of role in their diet. Quote
fishizzle Posted January 31, 2011 Author Posted January 31, 2011 thanks guys! and yes its a 4lb brown trout that came from a stream about 10' wide in my avi. Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted February 1, 2011 Super User Posted February 1, 2011 You're dam right bass will eat them. Slender, soft rayed fish like that are a little protein snack for the fish in your lake. Quote
