Websites are pretty much useless unless you know the name of what you
got.
When you start catching catching those unidentifible daces, darters,
chubs
etc, You need the Audubon Society field Guide to North American Fishes,
Whales and Dolphins. A great book and well worth $ 10.00 or better yet
at
$1.85

Hm.......

If you don't know the name of what you got, the Audubon field guides
(excellent books, all) require that you page through the pictures until
you
find the one that matches.

Why is that better than a website that requires you to search through the
pictures until you find one that matches what you got?

beacause ya can't take your computer with you fishing- unless you want to
bring a lap top- but, come on........

poltroons, and maroons of north america is due for release in the near
future......check you local bookstores!

Hm.......probably should have guessed that. Still, that doesn't quite make
websites useless, eh?

who believes he remembers the question and the answer.

ya'll know of any good web-sites for fish identification, particularly
when
you don't know the name. i'm trying to figure out what i caught today.
thought it was a catfish because it had whiskers, but i don't see the
fish
on the chart i have in my tackle box.
thanks in advance-
snake



hey, i think the fish on the cover is the one that i caught today. is
that possible?
looks like a great book- i'll have to get it and add to my audobon bird
guide, and audobon guide to trees of the eastern region.
thanks :-)

Try this one. If you submit a picture they will help you ID it. Look at
the column on teh left side of teh page and you will see strange fish ID
link.
