FISH SPECIES CHART COURTESY OF ODNR

The following chart shows fish found in Ohio waters, click on their name and read its description along with a picture and information about its habitat and reproduction. I will leave this chart on my website as a quick reference throughout the coming fishing season.   It might become useful. I found it very informative as I checked some of the common fish we have here in Lake Erie. Enjoy!
