Identify this Fish? - Bronco66 - 01-02-2012
Caught on the California Nevada border in a high altitude lake, but I cant remember the name right now. Any ideas anybody? There were schools of them near the shore and I managed to grab one by hand!

It is a dace! It looks an awfull lot like a red sided dace.. the red on this one is very faint though.. but if it were my guess its a red sided dace. And they are very close to entering the endangerd species list also! There in the at risk catigory

It looks like the redsided shiner that we have in the Bear river system in SE Idaho. Great Bait for sure!

I have no idea but I bet they would be tasty canned in some spicy tomato sauce.

So i decided to look up bolth the red sided dace and the red sided shiner. After looking at bolth im still pretty sure this is a dace as it is to dull to be a shinet
. The only diference between the two really is the shiner is well shinier than a dace.. im sure i could be wrong though.
