Download a free Wisconsin fish identification app at seagrant.wisc.edu/fishid in time for the May 3 statewide fishing opener. There is also a finger-friendly website for phones and tablets available at the same URL.
Wisconsin Sea Grant designed and released this photo-rich tool. Anglers can search by fish name, similar fish in the family or physical features—shape, distinctive features, pattern and type of fins, mouth, scales, spine, tail or coloring. Each entry depicts the fish, sometimes from several photographic angles, and offers a short write-up about fish features
The mobile website and app are presented in partnership with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and the University of Wisconsin-Madison Center for Limnology.
