fallfish
Large northeastern minnow
A fallfish is a large North American minnow found in streams and rivers of the eastern United States and Canada.
Despite being the largest native minnow in the region—reaching up to 17 inches—it's not prized as a game fish.
Fallfish build distinctive stone nests in streambeds during spawning season.
