Based off the article, Seems like creek chubs are a good sign of trout maintenance but not a sure thing.

today I learned carp and yellow perch dislike trout. Odd since I've seen yellow perch in natirar park,which is TM I think.

I'm a pretty lucky guy! The stream is beautiful and always on the colder side, not positive on the temperature though. It's almost entirely lined with trees and is very shallow and fast moving in a lot of places, which helps keep the temp down and oxygen levels up.

ALSO! After further investigation I am 95% sure the mystery fish was actually an eastern blacknose dace! After looking at that article I noticed dace numbers were much higher than either chub or chubsucker, and looking at a picture of one they look almost identical.

Thanks for all the kind words fellas! Hopefully I'm gonna hit this same stream again this week.
