Hi guys,

  Kinda new here....been peeking in and learning here and there, but need help identifying a fish my bro-in-law caught Monday eve in the Merrimack near  the Nashua boat ramp. I've looked it up, but still not sure....what do you all think? I know...the pictures are not that clear.... Thanks in advance.....

looks like a creek or river chub. my wife caught one yesterday at the nashua river.

I believe that is a fallfish, some people call them dace.

That's the same fish alright.... I did find a site that had a picture of a fallfish also. Very close to the creek chub. Thanks for the pic....nice fish!!

Fallfish.

Nashua speckled trout.

I need one about that size for an experiment.

I call those "Stupid fish that took my fly" when I'm fishing for trout... It's a fall fish. Chubs usually have a little more of a carp like mouth than a fall fish does.

Fall fish for sure. The Merrimack is full of them, and they are a pain!

I love how they kind of squeak when you're unhooking them haha.
