Thanks, you might be totally right, Lars. I don't really know anything about fish. I know it's not a great photo to ID from. I will try to zoom in and crop it for a better look. I will let you know when and then maybe we can get a better idea.

Looks somehow transparent like a Stickleback...probably a juvenile Culaea inconstans?
Just another idea - maybe Mitch is absolutely right.
