Why sad? They're in most lakes as far as I know. Not invasive or anything. The brookies and lakers gather up and gorge on their eggs. They seem to contribute to a healthy trout fishery in my experience.

It bothers me to see suckers in a brook trout lake also. I agree with Drew that they are in most brook trout lakes and don’t seem to do any harm.
On one trip we were in the middle of the park fishing for specks and hadn’t caught anything all day. We needed a trout for supper as we don’t bring in any meat. Suddenly fish were feeding on the surface so I threw a worm at one and had an epic fight with a three pound fish that turned out to be a sucker.☹️
Archiero.... I’m curious how far north you went as those specks look to be a different strain than I’m used to seeing. I’m not looking for an exact spot.
