I think the government list is probably based on fish species census conducted through electrofishing. Common = Strong Population.

Just because the fish are there does not mean you'll be able to catch them, the same species in two different bodies of water will have different behaviours suited to the environment. It is up to the fishermen to try different presentations to find what works there.

I do however, think the list needs to be updated, as I've definitely caught tons of 'possible' species that to me would be considered 'common' category. I've also caught lots of species at some of these spots that aren't even listed as being there.
