Cisco or whitefish?

[Kevin J Legg]

I’m fairly certain by the straight jaw this is a Cisco. We’ve been catching a few lately fishing browns. I have heard other refer to them as whitefish.

I’ve saved them and am going to try them in my smoker.

Looks like a Cisco.

Looks like a Cisco. Your not alone, the names can get super confusing. L Ontario has Cisco, which used to be called Lake Herring and Lake Whitefish, (bottom turned mouth). One of their deepwater dwelling relatives, called Bloater, are being stocked/reintroduced, and some people call them ‘deepwater  Cisco’. I think they are all pretty good smoked…but maybe not as good as browns!
