Probably a sucker, and based on the speckled pattern I'm gonna guess white sucker, Catostomus commersoni.

Ditto, but just a guess, not an ID quality photo.

actually, I just realized, that if you are good with rotating things in your head... it looks pretty much like my avatar... striped (or brassy) jumprock.

I mean, I see the slight saddle/yoke and two blotches of color on the side... whatcha got for jumprocks or suckers in that drainage?

Could it be a juvenile White sucker? I think that looks like the most likely candidate, Or as Michael Wolfe mentioned. Here is an attached photo of a Juvenile white sucker taken by Steven A. Ellis, Kennesaw, Georgia which was found on this website
