Default Re: What is a a sawbelly???

A sawbelly (aka mooneye) is a landlocked form of an alewife, commonly found up here in the Finger Lakes. They are an excellent bait for trout (lakes, rainbows, browns), as well as northern pike. They are quite delicate and difficult to keep alive for fishing trips, requiring cold, aerated water.
