Fishing with Rod: Peamouth chub vs northern pikeminnow

Peamouth chub and northern pikeminnow are commonly caught in the Tidal Fraser River during the summer months. They are closely related so both look rather similar. This video demonstrates the small but distinct differences between the two that can be used to identify them.

[TimTimONE]

[fishingwithrod]

Yes they are indeed small, but they make an excellent fishery for little kids. :)

Even though they are junk fish, they are fun as hell to catch. More so than bluegill or sunfish. They're like little freshwater sharks.

nice show, big pikeminnow are very fun to catch!

[GlenStoner]

We usually call these guy bait! Sturgeon bait that is. Between the eulachon runs in the spring and the later salmon runs these guys make good sturgeon bait. Just ripen them up for a few days to enhance there aroma.
