 |
|
| Went to the farmington river last night near the boat house for the schools. i got a lmb on tube fishing against the current ten ft from shore. my buddy was going to eels on the bottom. the only thing he got were a few small fish that he called daisy's on the bottom. i was wondering if anyone knew what they might be because i can't find that fish on the interwebs anywhere. they were about 8 to 12in long. any help? |

Johno beat me to it. My guess would be a Silver Dace.

It was a stupid sucker fish, you should spit in their mouths and smash them on a rock. They are THE most annoying fish in the world when you are fishing a river for trout or bass. Destroy them.
