   Thanks to everyone who responded to my query. The consensus is that the species in question is likely the white sucker...

        &#160; I am still wondering about the species of fish I saw splashing vigoroucly in shallow running water near the head of Big St. Margaret&#39;s Bay Lake, deep in the St. Margaret&#39;s Bay backlands, on Monday. I didn&#39;t get a good look at them due to light conditions and due to the skittishness of the fish. They were about a foot long, with uniformly coloured sides. They were splashing quite spectacularly in the shallows, with net movement upstream.&#160;&#160;

        &#160;&#160; What species&#160;were they? My first guess&#160;is gaspereaux (either species), but this lake shouldn&#39;t have gaspereaux as two high dams of the St. Croix River Hydro System and a diversion dam on the Ingram River block all fish passage from the ocean. &#160;Are there any known landlocked gaspereaux populations in the province? What other fish species could have been spawning in the lake?
