Inland Fishes of Washington: Second Edition, Revised and Expanded Hardcover – October 1, 2003
Purchase options and add-ons
This updated and greatly expanded edition of Inland Fishes of Washington describes all the known native and introduced fishes found in freshwater habitats of Washington State. The authors have created a valuable reference for anglers, biologists, teachers, students, and environmentalists in the Northwest.
This wide-ranging study summarizes current knowledge on the appearance, distribution, growth, reproduction, food habits, and longevity of these fishes. The descriptions range from the ubiquitous salmon and steelhead to the Olympic mudminnow, a fish found only in the state of Washington. All are here placed within the context of the many mutually supporting species that together make up the ecological network that sustains them. An overview of Washington's topography and natural provinces clarifies the influence of geographical, historical, economic, and political forces on the existence of freshwater fishes today.
The book provides instruction on the basic methods of fish identification, with keys and illustrations that bring together the traits and forms most useful in distinguishing species and subspecies.
The authors are well known to fisheries professionals in the Pacific Northwest for their studies of fish, publications in professional fisheries journals, their university teaching, and first-hand experience in the field of fisheries management and research.

Book Description
The definitive illustrated reference volume for inland fishes of Washington State
― University of Washington PressAbout the Author
Richard S. Wydoski and Richard R. Whitney were colleagues in the Univesity of Washington School of Fisheries in 1979, the date of the first edition of Inland Fishes of Washington. Dr. Wydoski went on to Utah State University and later to positions with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Washington, D.C., and the state of Colorado, where he now lives. Dr. Whitney, who taught at the School of Fisheries at the University of Washington for many years, is perhaps best known for his appointment by the Hon. George H. Boldt as Technical Advisor to the United States District Court in the treaty rights fishing case, 1975-79. He has served on numerous fisheries advisory and review committees, most recently those related to hydroelectric development and operations in the Columbia River Basin.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2013I have been a professional biologist for the State of Washington for over 30 years. I have been using IFOW since the first edition. The information is accurate and the references are the best available. I use this reference on a weekly basis and highly recommend it. This book and Field Guide to the Fishes of Eastern Washington are indispensable.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2013I have been doing extensive research on inland fishes of the Pacific Northwest for a novel I am writing. This book is by far the best resource I have found. The photos are tremendous and the text is thorough, exploring both fish behavior and the geography they are likely to be encountered in. I highly recommend it as an in-depth overview.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2020Just what I needed for class and beyond. In perfect condition. I love this book.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2015Fantastic book! Very informative and very descriptive. I'm using this to learn the fish of this state, as I just began angling. A pretty good resource for a new fisherman, such as myself!
- Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2019Finest book available on the topic.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2016Beautiful book, excellently organized, with good photos. Exactly what I was looking for.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2014Gettting the book was right on time. The big problem with the book was the binding broke after a couple of days use. This happened to six of us that ordered the book brand new.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2014Excellent book on the fish of Washington State. An invaluable resource for those new to fishing, wildlife, endemic species, and many other uses. Great for identification purposes and to further educate yourself.
