Have a guess in mind? I put together a spreadsheet of MN species a little while back so it wasn't hard to fine tune a little of the research and peg down the total number species. Approximately 55 species of fish exist within the BW today. 4 exotics and 2 questionable species bring it down to 49 Native Species that have been sampled within the BW. 24 of those have max sizes under 10" - small enough that most anglers won't catch them with a hook (though you can, with hooks #22 and smaller). So that Leaves about 25 "rod-bending" sized fish. Click here for the spreadsheet So I'm curious how many of these fish have we caught as a group: How many of these species have you caught total? How many within the BW? Total I've got 23, though I'm missing some easy-ish ones. In the BW I've got maybe 5 (apparently I need to fish harder on future BW trips) |
