FISH SPECIES BIO: Fish Species Photo Inventory

By Peter J. Park

Have you ever caught a fish and didn't know what species it was? Fear not! We have compiled for you an extensive photo inventory of fish species.

All you need to do is bookmark the following Nyack College Fishing Club Facebook Photo Album links, and you will be able to browse REAL PHOTOS of almost all the fish species found in local and afar waters! For your convenience, both common names and species names are provided.

So, about that "mystery" fish of yours... Just take a photo of it, see if we have it posted in our album(s), note the species name, Google it, and before long, you will soon become an expert on that fish!
