Fishes of the Smokies

Fishes of the Smokies by debut author Grant Fisher (pun intended) takes readers on a deep dive into the park’s 2,900 miles of rivers and streams to showcase dozens of the park’s beautiful but elusive aquatic residents. Fisher applies years of research and working experience as an employee of the national park as he describes each featured fish species with key information including habitat, diet, range, and ecological and cultural history. Clean profile pages present each species in striking detail while beautiful watercolor illustrations and vintage map and notebook textures woven throughout add warmth and a nod to the park’s first naturalists.

Intuitively organized and small enough to fit in a pocket, Fishes of the Smokies represents the most comprehensive field guide available to date devoted to the astounding aquatic biodiversity of Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
