Forage Species

Anglers often learn much about the species they pursue by studying what they eat.  Predator species typically base their movements, behavior and even life cycles on the habits of their prey.  Although there are hundreds of species of baitfish throughout the basin, below are some of the most commonly found (and eaten) species . . .
