been seeing these now for 3 years

For the past 3 years, these have been showing up in greater numbers and impacting the fishin technique required.


this was one of about 100 spit out of a bass...Lakers are also gorging on them

Ideas????

Smelt??

That'd be my guess as well

I think the nose looks too blunt to be a smelt

I'd call the local MNR and discuss

Longshank are they on the big water or smaller inland lakes?

Does your cottage lake have whitefish? Looks like Whitefish fry.. Maybe in 4-6 years the whitefish will be on fire!

Rest easy guys.......definately smelt


These are about 1 inch long and there are millions of them....either brought in by ice fishermen or who knows how

Drew first brought this to my attention a couple of years ago and they have been on the increase.

It's a contained lake

I sent some to OMNR last year to confirm as well, but thee were not as many then


The bass love them as do the trout, but I wonder how the lake dynamics will change as thye get to spawning sizes

Looks more like a Senko to me----sorry, just had to!!

Ahha Harold......

it's a ned rig 4 inch

Darn---wrong again!!
