DNR biologists can help anglers identify the fish they caught

INDIANA – With around 200 different species of fish in Indiana waters, it’s not uncommon that Hoosier anglers might hook a species they’ve never seen before.

Send a picture with the location information and date of your catch to fishid@dnr.IN.gov, and a biologist will respond to you with an identification.

Not only do you receive an identification, but DNR biologists also benefit by gaining new information on the distribution of some of our less common species.
