Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Fish ID

 I wish but too expensive for me right how.  Hopefully someone will reprint it some day.  This book is insane.

On a brighter note it looks like "Fishes of the Chesapeake Bay" has been redone and reprinted http://www.amazon.com/Field-Guide-Fishes-Chesapeake-Bay/dp/142140768X/ref=pd_sim_sbs_b_1/192-9412619-8251965.  I should have my copy later this week.

Speaking on books, does anyone have "the fresh water fishes of Virginia?'

I'll also throw a vote for dwarf pike cichlid ;). 

 

Fat heavy body with wide-set eyes.  Appears to have a dorsal fin placed far back (posterior) on the body. 

 

I have a really great guide to DC fish that was unpublished, but excellent for small stream fish ID.  We used it when I worked for DDOE and did the back-pack shocking on DC streams.  By far the most common species you'd shock up on most streams were banded killifish and mummichogs.  American eels on a lot of otherwise fishless streams too. 

 

I'll scan a copy and post it on this forum when I get back from MO in a couple of weeks.  It's from the 80's or 90's I think, but it beats the hell out of the popular Burr field guide for the purpose.  Good luck trying to ID the (not-carp) cyprinids with that sucker....no offense to Burr ;).  Most of the characters are really specific to the subpopulations you find around DC....which helps a lot.
