Common shiner Fishing

Luxilus cornutus

Common Shiners are small, silvery minnows inhabiting streams and lakes across eastern North America. They thrive in clear, gravelly waters and feed on insects, algae, and small invertebrates. Schooling in large numbers, they are essential prey for bass, trout, and pike, often used as live bait by anglers.
