Welcome to our e-Guide to the Common Fishes of the Toledo Area!

The 30 page guide provides a start to successfully identifying the 94 fish species found in the Huron-Erie Lake Plain streams such as the lower Maumee, Portage and Raisin Rivers. This is a first attempt at a more comprehensive booklet that will cover the geology, taxononmy, and natural history of the Western Basin of Lake Erie and its tributary stream fishes.
