Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Fish with orange stripe from local creek

Actually these fish had more black dots on a green background and a prominent belly. Looking again, it matches more closely to the western blacknose dace. But at least we know they are a good sign of a healthy creek and the dace are spawning!

I attached a picture from the Iowa DNR. I can see in this picture they have a downward angled mouth. I'll try to inspect more closely as we will try to capture a few more today.
