A large, robust chub found in clean gravel-bottomed streams. Builds gravel nests and is an important host for several native mussel species. Good live bait.
No stocking records are on file for Hornyhead Chub.
This is common for several reasons: this species may reproduce naturally and not require stocking (e.g. Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike), it may be managed under a different program not tracked here, or records may predate our database. For the most current data, check the Michigan DNR Stocking Database directly.
