Description: The northern leatherside chub is a small fish less than 150 mm that received its common name from the leathery appearance created by small scales on a trim, tapering body. Individuals may live up to eight years and reach sexual maturity at approximately age two to four. They have relatively broad diets, eating items in both the stream drift and the substrate, with insects comprising a large portion of diet in test subjects. Its habitat is small desert streams between elevations of approximately 4,100 and 9,000 feet, with low to moderate currents. Photo credit: Kirk Dahle/ Trout Unlimited
