Resources and Apps for Fish Identification
Ever caught a fish you’ve not seen before and can’t identify? Or just want to settle a difference of opinion with your fishing buddy whether you just caught a cutthroat or a western rainbow? This article (and included links to various fish identification apps) can help you with that. It is a page on the Seattle Yacht Club’s web site that was brought to our attention by a couple of Boy Scouts working on their fishing badge. Some of the apps can identify your fish from a picture you provide — pretty neat!!
