Tug Hill Brookies

[coaltrout]

We had big rains and cool temps here last week, staying around family up in NY.

No salmon or trout running locally here so explored some creeks and found good looking water holding brook trout.

Bonus microfish on the tanago!



Around the Tug Hill region, west of the Adirondacks.
Some interesting hiking too! Big cliffs!

Looks like a cutlips minnow for that small one.

cutlips have a downturned mouth? https://portal.ct.gov/deep/fishing/fres ... lip-minnow this one has an up facing mouth sorta like a bass.
Not that i have better guess however ! Friend suggested eastern silvery minnow but I dont see any blue-shine

I struggled with that as well, but some pictures made me think cutlips. But no way I'm confident.

Small river largemouth. Not a cutlips.

Not seeing it, it would have the stripe and other black markings like on the fins if it were a lmb? Ive caught some on lmb/smb yoy on tanagos already and they dont look remotely like this
