Looking through an older camera roll: another suspected pink X chum hybrid. Not visible in the picture but it had small black spots on its back, not dissimilar to a coho.
@operculum_ben I am once again coming to you with a dirty dirty fish
May I present the longnose dace x stone roller
@operculum_ben this one at least stayed in the genus… W Blacknose x longnose dace
Intermittent stream with pools full of Creek Chub, Southern Redbelly Dace, and Redside Dace.
In field identification was Creek Chub x Southern Redbelly Dace hybrid.
Seen 2 males very well, bright red, at the same rock the species was seen 3 years ago.
Basically swam into my hand. Not dead but didn't seem well.
Here's a fun one for you guys. I have puzzled over this one for years. Obviously Bluegill but what is the second contributor to this hybrid? Redear? No idea why it is so dark either. We only had it out of the water long enough for a photo.
Don't know what the affliction is, but I doubt it ended happily for this fish.
Hybrid sunfish species? There's Bluegill, Pumpkinseed, and Northern Sunfish in the area.
Interesting comparison between coastal and westslope subspecies sharing the same creek. Carefully captured and released during federal e-fishing.
Hybrid redspotted/redear is my guess
