Day at Credit River

[Geryon]

Posting some pics of Credit River fish. Bunch of small mouth bass and creek chub. Didn't keep any but anybody have experience with creek chub keeping?

I didn't have luck with creek chubs. I think they need fairly cold water.

Are you keeping all of those smallmouth?

No I didn't keep them. Found a good spot and caught them one after the other. Kept them long enough for a few pics. Can't seem to catch anything big, just small enough to tempt me to try to keep them but I know they get big so I thought better of it.

That Chub looks more like a hornyhead than a creek.

Either way both fish can tolerate a lot of different conditions and I wouldn't say either require particularly cold water and eat just about anything (and everything so be careful).

i also have found this stream/river kinda thing where there are a bunch of fish. but all there are only small fish. i wonder where the big guys are. there are many bluegills and stuff, but also a lot of small catfish and bass.

Teleost, I assumed it was a creek chub, never really saw one live till then. I'll have to look at the picture again and google hornyhead, oh boy.

Interesting about the water temp, that's good to know for later. Thanks.

I also say nay on creek chub, but would buy hornyhead or river chub.

the big guys move off the nests, and into better water this time of year.
