I need help with identifying a fish,

It is northern shape, but the markings are new to me, it seems to be a dark green with jagged yellowish stripes coming from the back of the head and coming down each side of the body.

The stripes are very distinctive.

I saw two of them today in different parts of my local river, one followed my buzzbait into shore and the other was sitting in the shallows amongst the rocks.

both I estimate were about 10 inches long but I didnt have anything small enough with me to catch ona and get a photo.

any ideas or info will be very appreciated

Ian
