This review is from: The Fishes of Ohio: With Illustrated Keys (Hardcover)

The late Milton Trautman was a professor at the Ohio State University and the recognized authority on freshwater fish of the region.

Of course, this work holds good beyond Ohio's borders and will help you to identify fish species all over the midwest and throughout the eastern interior United States.

This is what I would call a "life work," nicely illustrated with drawings. The book is bulging with technical information and is the last word on fish identification.

As a former Ohio conservation officer and adjunct College instructor, I cannot say enough good about this fine volume. A must for eastern naturalists.
