joeD Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 My cats brought these to my attention. Probably from the creek behind our house, which is a drainage from our subdivision lake. They were deposited on our stone pathway next to the house. I assume the felines brought them up from the creek. Any idea what they are fellas?
Kayser Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 Top is maybe a creek chub, bottom is a striped shiner? That's about as good as I can do. WARNING!! Comments to be interpreted at own risk. Time spent fishing is never wasted.
Al Agnew Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 Can't tell on the top one, but I don't think it's a creek chub. Head shape is wrong. Bottom one looks like a stoneroller. Stonerollers live in big rivers, small creeks, and everything in between.
joeD Posted March 14, 2016 Author Posted March 14, 2016 In other words, nothing special. Kind of like the Antique Roadshow on PBS. Just thought it was interesting that two minnows made it all the way up to my house. I haven't been fishing, obviously, so, two minnows on my sidewalk would count to my total, right?
fishinwrench Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 I'm gonna take you on a trip, ya ready? OK here we go.... Dude, it can actually rain fish and frogs. No really! http://m.livescience.com/32170-can-it-really-rain-fish.html
joeD Posted March 14, 2016 Author Posted March 14, 2016 Wrench, I said my cats brought them up.... Hmm, but they were whole, and this has never happened before.... Okay. Got it. Obviously its a sign. It tells me I need to reapply sand in the sidewalk and brush it in. In other words, yet another housekeeping chore. Whew, thank gosh. For a minute I thought....ach....nevermind.
