  • Warmouth

    Warmouths can be distinguished from other sunfishes by feeling for the patch of small teeth on the tongue.

  • White Catfish

    Prefer backwaters and slow-moving areas of larger rivers and streams as well as lakes and ponds. They appear to be more tolerant of brackish water than channel catfish.

  • White Crappie

    White crappie are so similar in appearance to black crappie that most Connecticut anglers probably do not recognize them as a separate species.

  • White Perch

    Adorned with an armament of long, sharp spines, white perch are difficult for both anglers and predators to handle.

  • White Sucker

    The white sucker is arguably our most important fish species.

  • Yellow Bullhead

    They were first observed in Connecticut in the early 1980s at a few disjunct sites in the lower Housatonic and upper Quinebaug River drainages. Populations are expanding in both of these drainages, and individuals have recently been discovered in the Connecticut River drainage as well.

    Yellow perch are one of the state’s most popular panfishes. They actively feed during the winter, making them a staple for ice anglers.
