Creek Chub

Creek Chub (Semotilus atromaculatus)

This is one of the most common and widespread stream fish in Ohio.

Moderately tolerant of turbid waters and other types of pollution, it is found in a wide range of streams, lakes, and ponds.

It is most common in the smaller streams and is one of the characteristic species in these systems.
