Golden redhorse Fishing

Moxostoma erythrurum

Golden Redhorse are sucker fish of North America’s rivers and lakes. Golden-bronze with a streamlined body, they feed by vacuuming insects, mollusks, and plants from gravel bottoms. Preferring clean, flowing water, they indicate healthy ecosystems. Though not a typical sportfish, they are strong fighters on light tackle.
