Confidence Booster

Post By: bigAB      Posted: 1/11/2015 7:14:35 AM     Points: 110    
A confidence booster lake. Always fun to catch countless fish. If your not catching fish switch spots because you should catch one every few minutes. My best record here was a fish every 10 sec until I get bored. I use a small ratfinkee or a small silver kastmaster, or a 1.5in tube jig. The fish bite with no bait, although if you want to catch faster use a wax worm. If your able to keep count of how many you catch your doing something wrong. Sizes range from 8in to 16in with a 11in average.

I caught something I could quite identify. It has the texture of a walleye, fins like a trout and a mouth of a catfish. What is it?

It is a pikeminnow. Cool! Watch the regulations on them.

It's not a pike minnow, it's a bonytail chub

Top pic is a pike minnow, bottom pick is a bonytail. The river from Rifle to Moab is FULL of them!

Thanks Westsloper for correct species ID, I have magnetics of the 4 endangered I have been trying to compare it to.

I think what you have is a close cousin to the Bonytail chub. Look at how deep the fork on the picture of the Bonytail is. I think you have a roundtail chub.

Gotafish might have nailed it!

You guys are right...not a pikeminnow. I need glasses! It looks to be a roundtail chub! I focused on the lateral line and not the mouth. Sorry.
