There is plenty of 14"-16" fish in N.F.Stilly . And I thought they was a steelhead... But one guy explained they was not steelhead! but whitefish. They are everywhere in slow pools with sandy and muddy bottom. And they look like feeding on the bottom. But some of them look bigger, maybe even 3-4 pounds. So I'm totally confused. Can whitefish reach such size? Or was it steelhead? Steelhead usually seek protection near rocks but these fishes lying on the sand. So what they are?
p.s.I have never seen live whitefish but smoked are good ones
