What Fish Is This?
 

Caught this fish in the Columbia River at Fairmont and am unsure of it's species. I am pretty sure this is not a Squaw, as I have caught many. I have been looking everywhere for an answer and have yet to have one. Thanks

Is that not a Rocky Mountain Whitefish?

It looks very similar to a Rocky Mountain Whitefish.

Thanks guys, here is a photo of a rocky I caught the same day, same spot...

Am pretty sure they are different...

The Rocky had the adipose fin, while the "mystery fish" did not...

Good catch with the adipose fin.

Could it be the 'look-alike' of the Squawfish, the Peamouth (Mylocheilus caurinus)?

It has the mouth of a lake whitefish but the lack of an adipose fin kind of rules that out?

Pike minnow?

Here is a Squaw, again, caught in the same place, using same gear, and same day.

i think it's a chub

Peamouth was my thoughts too.

Thanks!
 

Thanks guys! I think I am able to conclude that this fish is a Peamouth Chub
also known as Mylcheilus caurinus. Thanks for the help
