Guide to Saskatchewan fishes

I co-authored a quick-reference guide to the fish of Saskatchewan, which is published by Waterford Press. This laminated guide has color images of all currently known Saskatchewan fish species and some information about distribution in the province. It is a handy format for the tackle box or glove compartment and will be useful for both anglers and those with a general interest in nature. We made strategic decisions about which species accounts to include in the guide based on the best available information as of 2015. The references used are listed below.

The guide will be available for purchase in early 2016 via Amazon and other suppliers.
