Try a piece of worm on a #10 or #12 hood, no swivel, split shot on the line to keep it near the bottom and to slow it's movement in the current. Take pictures to post for an ID if you can't figure them out.
Thanks esshup.
They have a funny behavior that indicates they are some type of schooling fish.
When I quietly walk up to the creek edge, the LMB and GSF barely react if I move slowly enough.
These sucker fish (and the bullheads when they are in the deep pools) all swirl around rapidly in a single mass at the deepest part of the pool. Looks to me just like the ocean schooling fish that exhibit that protective behavior.
I definitely want to identify them correctly. It is impressive how quickly they start working upstream when the water starts moving again in the tiny, shallow creeks!
