What size hook and bait were you using? Were you intentionally trying to microfish?

Last winter on the hard, that's a piece of dew worm coming out of it's mouth.

No pictures but I have caught dacy minnows and spot tail shiners in a few parkland lakes. One small maggot on a #14 snelled hook on 2 lb. line. Caught the minnows for my bait for the day.

Had to dig through the archives for this guy. I remember he put up a fight, I had to tire him out! My arms were like noodles by the end of it

great thing about those minnows like the dace or chubs they are in huge numbers and when the actual fish you are targeting is not biting i change to old school actual stick with line and micro float and a tiny #20 dry fly bare hook with a tiny chunk of worm and catch those chubs left right and center. my buddies look at me funny but the way i see it is i am catching fish.

4 or 5 years ago I fished the Premier's Cup at Nipawin in the Saskatchewan River. We did okay during the pre-fish, not good but okay.
Two guys in a $65,000 boat, two grand to enter and numerous other expenses (as some of you know) and we did not catch a single fish bigger than my hand. Seriously embarrassing.
Not much chance I will do that tournament again, but if I do- crankbaits!

Fishing for coho off East Sooke park a few years ago this stud hit a 3" buzzbomb. A clear case of "eyes bigger than stomach" and I still can't figure out how it got it's mouth on that hook.

I'm no shiner/minnow expert but my best guess would be the silvery minnow.

From the ID characteristics I can see in the pic, I’d agree with Western Silvery Minnow.
-dorsal fin appears to have 8 rays
-mouth looks to be subterminal with an overhanging rounded snout
And compared to the Spottail Shiner, the eye is smaller and tail more forked.

LoL and the smallest fish I ever caught was a Stickleback from the slough near the place I used to roam before they built condos on it.

It is most likely a spot tail shiner. At the angle that you are holding it, there appears to be a black spot on the tail, which is characteristic of spot tail shiners.
I'd recommend that all serious anglers should invest in a Fish of Alberta book. It contains great paintings and descriptions. It also shows you the rough ranges that the fish are found in.
