Maybe Buffalo sculup. Was it fresh or marine?

Sculpin of some kind. Got any other pictures of it, maybe a side shot?

No that's the only one I knew it would be hard but I thought someone might me able to recognize it right away lol.

I'm thinking possibly Cottus kalamathensis, the marbled sculpin

Just found out that we're going back to that lake for the 4th of July! So I'll definitely try to catch another one

Oregon has quite a few sculpin

The rosy reds are clean from parasites and quarantined before being sold at the LFS where I do business.
How long do you think it should take before it's ready for fish?
I tested the water maybe an hour after all of that was done, and it tested ammonia for 2.0 ppm.

Nice, Oregon has good fishing IMO. My friends have a cabin(and grew up there) in Zigzag(zigzag and sandy river) and I have fished/visited in that area extensively. Beautiful area. Also fished central Oregon a bit.

It's likely a prickly or reticulated. If it had scales it's a prickly, if it didn't it's a reticulated.
