Thread: Fish ID anyone?

I found this surprising since I really didn't expect to see walleyes in the Gunpowder. But this would explain why I couldn't get them interested in any sort of baits or lures since walleyes are primarily night feeders. I just wish I'd had my SLR with me and a good polarizer filter so I could've taken pictures of them. I'll just have to start taking a better camera on my fishing trips.

I wouldn't expect Walleye.....my guess would be Fallfish (especially when you describe the 4 lower fins) , plenty of them in the Gunpowder
