This is the greatly-expanded second edition of a book that has been
hailed by In-Fisherman as "magnificent . . . the finest, most
comprehensive book on the fishes of the central United States."
Featuring the artwork of nationally acclaimed fish illustrator
Joseph Tomelleri, it bridges the gap between technical studies and
popular field guides in a volume that is indispensable for anglers
and naturalists alike.
Working with Prismacolor, graphite pencils, and painstaking
attention to scientifically precise detail, Tomelleri showcases his
ability with stunning illustrations that are both technically and
aesthetically satisfying, while also capturing subtle variations
among fishes that the camera lens misses. In this new edition he
depicts 250 fishes, including 87 appearing for the first time (a
more than 50% increase over the original edition), found in 21
states from the Great Lakes in the north through the Mississippi
Valley to the southern tip of Texas, and west to the foothills of
the Rocky Mountains and Rio Grande.
Tomelleri teams up once again with Mark Eberle to provide keen
insights into the ecology, natural history, and conservation of
these fishes and the types of threats they face. Species accounts
are informative but not technical, and are interwoven with folklore
and anecdotes. Do you know, for example, what fish looks like
"Mother Nature's hand-held vacuum cleaner?" Can you name a minnow
that reaches five to six feet in length? Or the fish that sometimes
turns up in farmers' fields-alive? What fish has a gizzard? Which
one swims a victory lap after it catches its prey? Tomelleri and
Eberle reveal the answers and much more in this lavishly
illustrated compendium of fish facts and lore.
