Early last month, I sent out a RFI for possible fish watching sites in the Cleveland area. I received some great tips on where to go, and despite having precious little time in the field I was able to get to at least one recommended spot- Pymatuning Lake. Additionally, I was able to explore a part of the Cuyahoga River at the National Park in Richfield and the Nimishillen Creek in Canton. In all, I identified five-species of fish and wonder if anyone may be able to help me with an sixth.
Identified=
Western blacknosed dace- Cuyuhoga
Northern hogsucker- Cuyahoga
Bluntnosed minnow- Canton, Nimishillen Creek
Golden redhorse- Canton, Nimishiillen Creek - not totally sure about this species. Pictures didn't come out.
Carp- Pymatuning
I thank those who were able to point me in the right direction. Sorry it took so long to post, however I had to wait to receive “The Fishes of Ohio” by Milton Trautman via interlibrary loan to help me sort out what I saw.

This is the fish I can't figure out. Small drainage creek flowing into Cuyahoga River at Richfield. Sand and rock bottom. Creek chub?
