The best fishes you can find in Johnstown

The Bull trout

The Bull trout

The Bull trout belongs to the Salmonidae family. It can measure up to 103 cm long and weigh up to 14.5 kg. It can live for a dozen years. It breeds from July to December. It can be fished from June to February. Like other arctic char species, the fins of a bull trout have white leading edges. Its head and mouth are exceptionally large for salmonidae, which gave it its name. Bull trout up to 103 cm long and weighing 14.5 kg have been recorded. Bull trout can be migratory, moving through major river systems, lakes and the ocean, or they can be resident and remain in the same river all their lives. Migratory bull trout is generally much larger than resident bull trout, which rarely exceeds 2 kg. Bull trout differs from brook trout (S. fontinalis) in the absence of distinct spots on the dorsal fin, as well as yellow, orange or salmon spots on the back, as opposed to red spots with blue halos on the trout stream. Bull trout do not have the deep-dug caudal fin of lake trout (S. namaycush, another Arctic char).

The Banded Rudderfish

The Banded Rudderfish

The Banded Rudderfish belongs to the Carangidae family. Their adult size is 50 cm for 2 kg. They can live for 17 years. They can be fished all year. The banded rudderfish is similar in appearance to the other amberjack fishes, but smaller than most others. It has a relatively thin but deep body with a forked boomerang tail. This semi-profiled shape indicates that it is a fast swimmer. The body is light in color with a slight amber or gold band on the sides, extending from eye to tail. Younger banded rudderfish have six black bars on their bodies and a black band that extends from the eye to the first dorsal fin; they retain this pattern strongly until they reach 27 to 35 cm long, when the stripes begin to fade. The larger fish have no bars; they are generally brownish or greenish, with the dorsal side darker than the belly. This species can be distinguished from other amberjacks in several ways. Other young amberjacks have a striped pattern similar to the young banded rudderfish, but the latter begin to lose their pattern when they are several centimeters taller than those of other young amberjacks. Moreover, unlike other amberjacks, the banded saffron is white at the end of its tail. Eight spines in its first dorsal fin and 34 & 39 rays in its second dorsal fin are characteristic of banded fish, while other amberjacks generally have less than 34 rays in their second dorsal fins. The young banded rudderfish also closely resembles the pilot fish. However, the other amberjack

It breeds between February and July. It can be fished all year round. Largemouth bass has a large mouth with a slightly oblique mouth. Its body is thin to robust, slightly flattened laterally and of oval cross-section. The corner of the mouth extends beyond the eye. The back and head are dark green to light green in color with lighter sides and a whitish belly and underside. A large lateral band can be seen from the snout through the eyes to the base of the tail. Towards the tail, there is a series of spots of different sizes. These spots become a solid and uniform band on the caudal peduncle. The eye is golden brown. Vertical fins slightly pigmented, generally clear paired fins; caudal fin in young and adult. Adults in muddy lakes are dark olive brown to black, with marks that are difficult to distinguish. Males in breeding condition tend to be darker in color.

The White Bass

The White Bass

The White Bass belongs to the Moronidae family. Its maximum length is 46 cm and its maximum weight is 3.2 kg. Its maximum lifespan is 15 years. Spawning takes place from March to May. The best time to catch it is from mid-April to mid-May. As with other true basses, the dorsal fin is clearly double, separated into thorny and soft-raked parts. White Bass is a silvery shade ranging from dark grey or black on the back to white on the belly. Several incomplete lines or stripes extend horizontally on either side of the body. Adults look like a young striped bass, and the two are often confused. However, the striped bass has two distinct pieces of teeth on the back of the tongue, and the white wolf has one piece of tooth. The striped bass has two points on each cap, unlike the white bass which has one, and the second spine of the anal fin measures about half of the third spine of the striped bass, while it is about two thirds the length of the third spine in White Bass.

The Black Grouper

The Black Grouper belongs to the Serranidae family. The black grouper is a large marine fish that can reach lengths of up to 150 cm and weigh 100 kg. The black grouper has a lifespan of about 40 years. Fish spawn between May and August. The black grouper fishing season is open from June to December. The black grouper is a large, marine fish with a prominent lower jaw. It has an oblong body shape and rounded edges on the dorsal and anal fins. The caudal fin is square and the dorsal fin has 11 spines and 15-17 rays. The preopercule is rounded without a notch, which distinguishes it from the gag grouper (Mycteroperca microlepis). The black grouper has an olive or grey body color, dark rectangular spots and small hexagonal bronze spots on the head and underside. The edges of the dorsal, anal and caudal fin are black or bluish; there is sometimes an orange border along the pectoral fins. The front teeth of the black grouper are well developed canines. Groupers have several sets of strong, thin teeth that play the role of a rasp. These teeth are not used to tear the flesh like barracudas and sharks, but rather to prevent small fish from escaping.
