[quote iliketofish]Not sure what you mean by Small Scale Sucker. I'm certainly sucker expert, so if you are feel free to correct me as I'm always up for learning something new. But I can't find any Small Scale Sucker in Idaho. There's a Klamath small scale sucker (Catostomas rimiculus).
As for my vote on what the fish is, it looks to me like a Longnose Sucker (Catostomus catostomus) Here's a link to a site with a picture:

Here's a link to a pretty inclusive list of Idaho's fishes native and non native. [url "http://www.idahoafs.org/fishes.php[/quote]"]http://www.idahoafs.org/fishes.php[/quote][/url]
Small Scale Sucker as Family, not Geunus or Species. I've seen Redhorse that were colored up similarly, but with different shades...
