A #Fishmas Grinch or gift? On Day 13, it's a fish that may be a bit of both! 🎁
Unlike other salmon species intentionally brought to the #GreatLakes, the Pink Salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) was an unexpected addition that has nevertheless become important to anglers #25DaysofFishmas

🎶They call me mellow yellow (bass), quite rightly🎶
Take some time on Day 12 of #25DaysofFishmas to mellow out during the busy #Fishmas season with the Yellow Bass (Morone mississippiensis)! While this species isn't widely found throughout the #GreatLakes region, it's still worthy of a look 💛

Prepare for trouble and make it double, because #Fishmas Day 8 brings one fish with two identities!
Steelhead + Rainbow Trout are the same species - Oncorhynchus mykiss - with different lifestyles. While not native to the #GreatLakes, they're a favorite of anglers #SundayFishSketch #25DaysofFishmas
