Everytime I go wading for smallies in Manotick I catch a bunch of these and don't know exactly what it is?

Sorry about the picture quality, taken with my cell phone.

Fallfish........never even heard of those and I have been catching them for two years now. They seem to love the inline spinners.

Thanks for the info.

Is a fallfish and a whitefish the same ? cause it looks a lot like a whitefish ... got into these a few times and could not catch anything else ...

They are completely different fish. Whitefish have an adipose fin, finer scales, under-slung mouth. Also, whitefish are coldwater fish, fallfish are warmwater. Whitefish are deep now, won't be up shallow until end of October. The fish in the picture is definitely a fallfish.

Yeah, that was probably me.

I have been going there for 2 years now and have caught mostly smallies, largemouth once, a goby once and those fallfish many times. I really like that place.
