Anglers and naturalists in the Show-Me State will enjoy this handy field guide to help them identify 64 species of freshwater fish.
Whether smallmouth bass from an Ozark Mountain stream or one of the many sunfish species from ponds and creeks throughout the state, this guide shows Missourians any fish likely to be caught by hook-and-line. The noted diagnostic characters and beautiful color illustrations will prove an indispensable aid for identification.
Included are notes on preferred habitat and favorite baits for landing each species.
This 12-panel guide conveniently folds up in to a packet narrow enough to fit in a back pocket, glovebox, or tackle box yet sturdy enough to stand up under repeated use—durable lamination also makes it waterproof.
