manitoubass2 Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 (edited) any help is appreciated... you cant see in the pic too well but the fins are very sharp and also running a good distance down the back Edited November 9, 2014 by manitoubass2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave524 Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 Probably some kind of Stickleback, would help to see the dorsal fin erect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manitoubass2 Posted November 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 Probably some kind of Stickleback, would help to see the dorsal fin erect. my thoughts as well. i could get a better pic as i was alone. dorsal fin was sharp and boney and ran maybe 3/5ths the length. if you look closely you can see minute humps on the back. i tried to adjust the exposure for a better view but for some reason it wont save. ill keep trying. never seen these in the RR before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beavertail Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 Yup, I'd say stickle-back as well. Neat little buggers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musky or Specks Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 looks like a brook stickleback to me but no way to identify for sure without counting the spines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garfisher Posted November 9, 2014 Report Share Posted November 9, 2014 Most definitely a Brook Stickleback, if you look close you can see the spines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris.brock Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 stickle back, not the common 3 spine though I have a book, Freshwater Fishes of Canada, Scott and Crossman, as a fisherperson or outdoors person, it's a great reference if a used copy is online and cheap, it's facinating and great to have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 I'm going to guess Nine-spine Stickleback. Would be best to see a photo with the spines showing but the caudal peduncle looks to be too long to be a Brook Stickleback. Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
