Fishes of the Smokies

Some 2,900 miles of rivers and streams flow through the Great Smoky Mountains, and just beneath the surface of these wild mountain waterways is a world swimming with fishes of all shapes and colors. Grant Fisher’s Fishes of the Smokies represents the most comprehensive field guide available to date devoted to identifying and describing the astounding aquatic biodiversity of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Fisher applies years of research and working experience as an employee of the national park as he describes each featured fish species with key information including habitat, diet, range, and ecological and cultural history.
Clean profile pages present each species in striking detail, while beautiful watercolor illustrations and vintage map and notebook textures woven throughout the compact field guide add warmth and a nod to the park’s first naturalists.
