Freshwater Fish Species

Freshwater fish inhabit the lakes, rivers, streams, and ponds that stretch across North America. From the bass-heavy reservoirs of the South to the cold trout streams of the Rockies, freshwater fishing draws more anglers than any other discipline. Species in this category range from fast-growing panfish to trophy largemouth that can top 20 pounds. Knowing the habitat preferences, seasonal patterns, and feeding habits of each species is the difference between a slow afternoon and a memorable day on the water.
