“There’s an old and only record of Fall Fish for the Province for the Sackville River, not sure if anyone has really followed up on that, they are close in appearance to our native creek chub. Large mating schools of creek chub would be spawning in the brook now, I have observed them many times when the water gets around 12 degrees. Always wondered if there are still Fall fish in there. The males get the beautiful nuptial tubercles.”
