It’s a Northern Pikeminnow, and they are native to that area.

Squawfish / PikeMinnow. They are native, but get a bad wrap for eating lots of baby trout and salmon. They’ll voracious chase down a streamer or eat small nymphs too. Some sections of Clark Fork are thick with them. For a fun read, look up the bounty program in Washington State. Baby salmon blood money.
