Indeed he does. He certainly does. But I know this lake system extremely well, been fishing there since I was eight. That's why I was so surprised to find a species there that I wasnt familiar with.
However, based on what I know of the system, past and present, there are no clupeids in there. They wouldnt survive there long term, yet I've seen this school of fish in one particular area in this lake since last year... actually in a deeper pocket in a length of stream nearly devoid of any life, due to its position between a drainage waterfall below a road and a cold, polluted, rocky and shallow section of stream. It's a very artificial waterway, and the stream is devoid of darters, crayfish, etc etc, most wildlife in general. The presence of this small school of fish surprised me, but as I said, I have seen them there for a while.
I may be there again next week. I'll try to take a better picture, and perhaps catch more than one individual.
