Fish Identification
Here’s a wee article I patched together in hopes of helping others to easily identify what fish they’ve caught. I have found that a lot of the stuff out there is lacking, or way too technical or verbose.
Emphasis was placed on being clear, simple, to the point, and not overly descriptive – just the key characteristics and a couple of colour pictures of each fish… without having to count fin spines, or perform a dissection. [attachment=221] This article is limited to those fish which should represent those the average Ontario anglers might see in their adventures. Cheers, OldTimer EDIT AUGUST 9 2015 - see farther down the thread for REV 1 of this pdf - has lots more pics and fish........Cheers.......OldTimer <>< I once gave up fishing. It was the most terrifying weekend of my life. ><> See you on the river. |

RE: Fish Identification
I was doing some reading on distinguishing various suckers and redhorses, it's still confusing to me but this might help some:

RE: Fish Identification
Hm...a certain bowfin looks really familiar on this ID document...it's almost like I've met the fish somewhere in the past
