I caught this fish last summer on Kitty Lake. Is it a chub? Are these fish common in the park?

I believe it's a fallfish, which is a close relative of the much smaller creek chub.

That is not, however, a cisco. Cisco (aka lake herring) are relatives of the whitefish, as swede says, but very different from fallfish and chubs, which are minnows. Cisco are cold-water fish usually found deep in the middle of large lakes. Where they exist, lake trout tend to grow big on them.

Awesome, thanks for the ID swede and Dan. I looked up some pictures and I would say you guys are certainly correct in saying that it's a fallfish. I've never heard of that type of fish before so I appreciate the info.
