Pike Minnow

Here's the "Catch"
Caught on hand-tied imitation "Grasshopper" (#8 hook) .

These fish are locally known as "Squawfish" however, in recent times, some of the N'west Tribes have objected to the use of the word "Squaw" noting it to be a sobriquet of unflattering nature initated by some of the early settlers and trappers. Now, many of the creeks and other landmarks, etc. have been renamed due to objections raised by the Tribes.
