Yes, northerns.
I hope you can find a better answer to this perplexing problem.
Not really a problem. Just a matter of interest. While they were tougher to catch last year on artificials, we had no problem with shiners (just to have fun catching something). Also, I am on a blue ribbon portion of a trout stream, so we always have something to set a hook into.
