I never heard of a Cisco…had to Google it. Thumbs up for teaching something completely new for this old Okie. It a dull day when you don’t learn something.
I got on an awesome whitefish/cisco bite white I was lake trout fishing in lake Michigan. Watching them eat my jigging spoon on sonar in 90’ of water from a kayak. So fun
These forage species videos are so awesome, helps alot with understanding fish movements! We have em all over the place in Canada has you said, but I didn't know bass were feeding on them too. Thanks for your time Matt!!
I learned a thing or 2 here for sure! I will be keeping these things in mind next time I hit Fort Peck. That's my home state lake of choice here in Montana
Matt, good info as always. A secondary plus is that when you talk about fish I am not familiar with I look to see if we have them in my state. Unfortunately we do not, but I appreciate the spark to make me look it up.
Matt, I live in Traverse city mi and the average Cisco in the bays are 20 to 25 inches. Most of the old timers who use to always fish for whitefish, now fish for Cisco. The MI Dnr are baffled by the size of the Cisco population now and the decline of the whitefish. I would say that most of the whitefish decline came when the Salmom population declined from forage fish like alewife declining and Salmon resorted to eating anything that they could get, which you would think would be Cisco, but maybe that has something to do with there growth, along with the Salmon plants have been way down in the last 4 or 5 years. ???
Love to go after these fish during the Mayfly hatch. They come into the shallows to feed. Cane poles ( glass) 16 to 18 ft and no reel a pin min and a wax worm. Drop the pin min to the bottom and lift slowly to imitate the hatch. If you can keep a straight face with these guys going absolutely crazy around the boat....you are stone cold.
I just caught them during a mayfly hatch today super fun fish absolutely everywhere caught them jighing spoons casting cicadas and flu flu with gulp of it they were eating everything
Never heard of that name in Quebec , si i’ve done a lttle research and in french we call them ´coregone ‘ , as the water is getting colder i have been catching some !
@Stephane Lavoie, "corégone" are completely different. The mouth is not the same and also the size. Ciscos are rarely larger than 12", whitefish / coregone are on average 3lbs or more. In most lakes where corégone are present, you will also find ciscos.

Very cool!

Glad it was helpful!
Musky candy
Bear Lake, in Utah and Idaho. The only place on earth that you can catch the Bonneville cisco.
thanks for sharing
@@MattStefanFishing You are welcome. The bonneville cisco run is a blast. There are videos on UA-cam, if you are interested.

wow those are big
Any Cisco populations in lakes here in southern Wisconsin that you know of?
Lots of lakes in the southeast. Geneva has a bunch and okauchee and the lakes around that area,

Still hoping for blueback info
