This was found in the upper Teeswater River in an area that sea lamprey are very much excluded from. Denny’s dam is a lamprey barrier at the mouth of the Saugeen and then there is another significant barrier at Cargill on the Teeswater that should prevent any hitchhiking sea lamprey from accessing. So under those circumstances that would lead me to believe this is a native lamprey. So it could be either Silver or Northern Brook. It is not likely a Silver as they need to go down to the lake to feed and then come back to spawn, so it is likely a Northern Brook Lamprey but there is no way to be sure. Keep Your Eyes and Ears open when you're in the outdoors you never know when you'll see or hear something special, they live in a healthy system.
