A small, slender shiner found in clear, weedy lakes and streams. Declining in some areas due to habitat changes. Important forage for trout and bass.
No stocking records are on file for Blacknose 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.
