A nearly transparent small shiner found in large, turbid rivers. Rarely encountered by anglers. Important forage in large river systems.
No stocking records are on file for Ghost Shiner.
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.
