What's this fish?
 

Caught this guy in Red Deer River, wonder what kinda of fish this is. Could this be a white fish?

looks like a mountain whitefish. I haven't caught one since I was a kid though.

yup rocky mtn white
nice catch!
cheers

i have also caught those before and i was told those are river chubs.

By the way, this fish don't have teeth :)

100% Rocky mountain whitefish ....:bad_boys_20:

I'll put a vote in for goldeye as I don't see an adipose fin and the mouth structure and scales look off to be a rocky to me

sure dont look like a rocky mountain whitefish, catch lots of rockys in the mcleod and they sure dont look like that

Sorry thats not a whitefish or goldeye. Looks like an invasive species but will check, any other photos of this specimen.

better quality picture

Northern Pike minnow (Squawfish) but I did not think we had them in Alberta I'll check the fishes of Alberta book.

it's a flathead chub, guys
 

...a large member of the minnow family that inhabits large rivers. I've caught them nearly a foot long in the NSR.

That's definately a rocky mountain whitefish....I caught 2 12 inchers tonight on a red tail prince nymph. btw these aren't pictures of the ones I caught. You said it didn't have teeth, in fact the mouth kind of looks a bit like a sucker...in a way. No longer 110% sure....lol

Flathead Chub
http://www.bio.txstate.edu/~tbonner/...20gracilis.htm
caught a few as well, absolutely tasteless meat

Nope...not a mountain whitefish (no longer called Rocky Moutain whitefish)...it's lacking an no adipose fin. Also, the upper jaw extends too far back. I'm not guessing here...it's a flathead chub. It's a very cool catch. Nice!

I assumed it was flattened down as the pic isnt very good...I did just notice the mouth doesnt overlap like the RMWF

My vote goes to the flathead chub minnow. Got tones in the old man river too.

chub
 

caught tonnes of them in the peace river where the whitemud river runs in.

I reckon its a Flathead chub.

All who said mountain whitefish had better look again.

Not a whitefish

Absolutely chub...

chub
 

Caught lots in Pembina and North Sask. rivers. Took one to F&W once and was told it was chub. Had big jack hit them when reeling in on rigs.:sign0161:

ciscoe or tulipe
 

ciscoe or tulipe. Not sure if I am right but we use to catch similar fish in ontario. Not sure about a tulipe though, maybe thats just what my dad called them?

chub.

cisco or herring :)

looks like a chub. Caught a few in the Peace River.

its a chub
 

whens the last time you caught cisco and herring in a river in alberta?

........about a week or so after I caught my first ever mackeral. :innocent:

what is it?
 

It is a chubb.
Lots of them in the SSR and the Red Deer.

Ken.

chub
 

many peaple confuse the chub and rockies... however if it is found in a river in the foothills and mountians... most likely a rocky.... ifits found in the prairies or a fair distance from the foothills.... most likely chub.... hope that helps.
