    Assistant Unit Leader–Fisheries of
    AQUATIC

    The aquatic environment is home to both aquatic


    and terrestrial animals. Some of these include fish,
    frogs and herons. Water is essential to all life.
    BLUEGILL

    The bluegill is fun to catch! It is a valuable fish


    because it is an important source of food for other
    sport fish. It lives in shallow, quiet waters near
    weed beds. Bluegills build nests in colonies where
    they deposit their eggs.
    CHANNEL CATFISH

    The channel catfish is highly rated by many


    anglers because it bites hard and is very good to
    eat. It can be found in all kinds of freshwater habitats.
    Catfish feed mostly at night on insects and other fish.
    Whisker-like sensory barbels on the upper and lower
    jaw help the catfish to find its food in the dark.
    DRAGONFLIES

    Dragonflies are aquatic insects that live in


    marshes, lakes, creeks and rivers. They are eaten
    by fish, both as nymphs (young dragonflies) which
    live underwater and as adults which spend most of
    their time in the air.
    EEL

    Eels have long, slender bodies with a


    continuous fin that consists of united dorsal, caudal,
    and anal fins. The young eels are leaf-like in shape
    and are called leptocephalous larvae. Most eels live
    in fresh water and spawn in the ocean.
    FISHING

    Fishing can be enjoyed alone or shared with


    family and friends, regardless of age. Some anglers
    enjoy just being outdoors and combine fishing with
    boating and camping. Fishing is fun, relaxing, and
    can provide tasty meals!
    GAR

    Gar are elongate fish with long snouts


    equipped with sharp teeth. Their bodies are
    cylindrical and covered with hard diamond-shaped
    scales. Gars inhabit relatively clear, sluggish
    waters where they feed entirely on small fishes.
    HATCHERY

    A hatchery helps improve fishing by hatching,


    and raising fish for stocking in streams, rivers
    and lakes. Both state agencies and the U.S. Fish
    and Wildlife Service share in the responsibility of
    providing fishing recreation for you.
    ICE FISHING

    Ice fishing is fun in winter when the ice is thick


    enough to hold you up. Most ice fishing is done on
    large lakes in the northern states. "Shanties" are
    built to protect the anglers from the cold.
    JUVENILE

    A juvenile fish looks just like an adult fish, but is not


    yet old enough to reproduce. Juvenile fish need
    clean water and good habitat to grow into adults big
    enough to catch.
    KING SALMON

    The king salmon (also known as the chinook)


    is the largest of the Pacific salmons. Adults return
    from the sea and move into freshwater streams to
    reproduce. They are an important part of the Native
    subsistence fisheries of Alaska.
    LARGEMOUTH BASS

    The largemouth bass is the most popular sport


    fish in America. It prefers warm, quiet waters of
    lakes and streams around weed beds and
    submerged logs. It feeds on small fishes, frogs,
    crayfishes, worms and insects.
    MANAGEMENT

    Management of fish means improved fishing!


    Surveys of fish populations, construction of man-
    made fish habitats and recommendations on
    harvest regulations make fishing better for you!
    NORTHERN PIKE

    The northern pike has a tremendous fighting


    spirit. It eats almost anything that swims
    (frogs, crayfish, mice, young ducks and insects).
    It can usually be found in shallow waters of lakes
    and streams.
    OVER-FISHING

    Over-fishing results when more fish are


    removed from a body of water in a single year than
    can be replaced through reproduction or hatchery
    stocking before the following year. Limits on fish
    may only be needed for some species.
    POLLUTION

    Pollution is a growing problem in our aquatic


    environment. It threatens the health and safety of
    both animals and people. Pollution free waters are
    essential for high quality recreational fishing.
    QUALITY

    The quality of fishing may be maintained with


    creel limits (the number of fish allowed per day) or
    size limits. Size limits allow fish to grow up and
    reproduce before ending up on a stringer.
    RESEARCH

    Research by state and federal agencies


    provides answers to problems facing anglers and
    fisheries managers. Research projects can tell us
    the condition of the fish and give us information to
    help improve our fisheries resources.
    SAFETY

    Safety comes first! Fishing and boating can be


    fun, but remember to take along these important
    items for your safety!
    TACKLE

    Tackle is the equipment used to catch fish. This


    includes the tacklebox, rods, reels, line, lures, and
    bobbers. The type of fishing you do will determine
    the type of tackle you use.

    is the federal agency responsible for the
    conservation and protection of our country's fish
    and wildlife resources. This includes promoting the
    wisest use of our land and water and all the living
    creatures which live there.
    VEGETATION

    Vegetation that grows in the aquatic


    environment provides food and cover for many
    animals that live in or near the water. It provides
    spawning and nursery sites for fish — two important
    elements in maintaining a good fishery.
    WALLEYE

    The walleye is a popular gamefish in large lakes


    and streams. They feed mostly at night on fish,
    insects, crayfish and snails. They are considered to
    be among the best fish to eat.
    X MARKS THE SPOT!

    X marks the spot! A map of a river or lake can


    provide useful information to the angler on good
    fishing spots. Submerged fish attractors and
    location of the main stream channel are important
    things to know for successful fishing.
    YELLOW PERCH

    Yellow perch usually swim in schools (groups of


    fishes) in both deep and shallow water of lakes,
    ponds and rivers. This gives anglers a good
    chance to fill their stringer.
    ZONES

    Zones are layers in a lake, stream or river that


    separate different fish habitats. Some fish can be found
    in the shallow water zone (bluegill), some fish can be
    found in the open water zone (walleye), and some fish
    can be found in the deep water zone (catfish).
