A unique and much-needed field guide covering both plants and animals,
useful for Wisconsin and neighboring states and provinces
From spring-fed headwaters to quiet, marshy creeks and from tannin-stained
northern reaches to broad southern tributaries winding through farmland, Wis-
consin is home to 84,000 miles of streams. This guide is the ultimate companion
for learning about Wisconsin stream life. Developed by Wisconsin Department of
Natural Resources scientists, with information provided by dozens of biologists
and ecologists,
Field Guide to Wisconsin Streams
is accessible to anglers, teachers
and students, amateur naturalists, and experienced scientists alike.
More than 1,000 images illustrate the species in this field guide, augmented by
detailed descriptions that include look-alikes, ecological and taxonomic notes,
and distribution maps. It identifies:
• more than 130 common plants
• all 120 fishes known to inhabit Wisconsin streams
• 8 crayfishes
• 50 mussels
• 10 amphibians
• 17 reptiles
• 70 families of insects
• other commonly found invertebrates.

“While targeting Wisconsin, the book is
useful in a much larger area of the U.S.
and Canada. The incredible illustrations
and detailed key make this guide a great
resource for beginning ‘sedgers.’”
