SUCKER. 

 Catostomis Communis. 



Also known as "Common Sucker" 

 and " Chub." Found in the Hudson and 

 Delaware Rivers and their tributaries ; 

 also in other rivers and many of the lakes 

 of the Middle and New England States. 

 Taken from August to November. 



A low-priced and abundant fish in our 

 markets, of little account for table use. 

 But like the Carp, if well spiced, seasoned, 

 and gravied, this fish may be rendered 

 quite palatable. 



Tackle same as for Trout. For bait, 

 worms are preferred.
