I think this is a Grass Carp

Thanks guys! Fallfish it is now that I looked it up based on your prompt replies.

I am used to looking up the sports fish but identifying the others had me scratching my head today!

No not a spinner I was using 1/32 oz jig head with a worm on bobber set to about 4 feet(the pool was probably about 4-6 ft. This combination It seems to work well for me for Perch and panfish.... I started with a minnow for about 20 minutes and had one nibble (I'm convinced it was the fallfish). I tried a mico tube on a 1/32 jig but that did not seem to attract anything so I switch to the worm. I was thinking of moving to a 8 or 10 hook but hey the jig was working.

I found some sunken structure (probably a large bolder shielding the fish from the current of the dam) and kept hitting it and they kept hitting the worm... A bakers dozen of fish in an hour an half, solid entertainment on beautiful day (I spent the earlier part of the day looking for Muskie but no luck there).

I also go to use my new ultra light medium for the first time. It's a nice change from the my general purpose medium fast I had been using. I still find it funny to see a bent rod on a 6 inch fish but it works (you can tell I don't ice fish)

Two funny things:
- I baited my hook once with about 1.5 inches of worm and it lasted the whole session.
- The yellow perch hit from largest to smallest to a fault; The first one was about 12 inches, then 10, then 9... The last couple were in the 7 inch range.
