Identify this Fish?
#1
Caught on the California Nevada border in a high altitude lake, but I cant remember the name right now. Any ideas anybody? There were schools of them near the shore and I managed to grab one by hand!

It looks like the redsided shiner that we have in the Bear river system in SE Idaho. Great Bait for sure!

I have no idea but I bet they would be tasty canned in some spicy tomato sauce.

So i decided to look up bolth the red sided dace and the red sided shiner. After looking at bolth im still pretty sure this is a dace as it is to dull to be a shinet
. The only diference between the two really is the shiner is well shinier than a dace.. im sure i could be wrong though.
