I stopped by for a little walk between the doctor and work, and spotted some minnows-or baby fishes-in an eddy near one of the bridges. They seemed to have a white stripe on the rear half of their back extending into the tail, and looked like the sides had some striation or vertical dark-light bars. Brown-looking overall, but I didn't get a very close look at them.
I am tempted to go get some so I can take pics, but I think I will feel bad if I kill some before I am able to put them back. Without some kind of pic I think it's impossible, but anyone here know native fish and might have an idea what these could be? Many species of minnows around here I have found out researching, but none really look like those did... I wonder if they are a juvenile trout or something.
We got to see the Baker Dam hatchery release thousands of them into Baker Lake a few years ago, but I wasn't into fish then so I didn't pay attention to what they looked like, just how many we saw dying
