No it is a flatfish common in the North Sea

Best to avoid catching them at all, they are extremely poisonous.

I also forgot chub, char, vendace, and dragonet.

I suppose they're similar to the Pacific sand dab:

They're delicious:

Close to home , I have caught (on the fly)

Rainbow trout
Cutthroat trout
Bull Trout
Brown Trout
Brook trout
Golden trout (the real kind, not some albino rainbow)
Lake Trout

Rocky Mountain Whitefish

Northern Pike

A squawfish or two, but these were accidental

red-finned suckers (happens every year during runoff as I dredge the
bottom with big nymphs)

I have also caught, but not on the fly, and not necessarily close to home:

Walleye
Chinook Salmon
Coho Salmon
Sculpins
Perch

I can't think of any others.

chub

There have been two or three outings where I entertained myself catching
chub on dries when little else was going down.

I took a chub on a size 4 salmon hook once at Sandy Creek. That was
something to see. If I remember, it was on my own concoction that I call a
"freddie mercury"

Hook: Salmon fly, size 4-6
tail: purple schlappen
tag: medium oval tinsel
body: Purple ultra chenille
rib: fine oval tinsel
thorax: Purple lite brite
wing: flourescent pink calf tail (reverse tied)
Hackle: Purple chickabou

I don't remember why I called it a "freddie Mercury", but it seems to fish
well in everything from clear to deeply stained water.
