Types of Illinois fish

Buffalo

The Smallmouth Buffalo is a fish often confused with carp, suckers, or other buffalo. It is a heavy-bodied fish with large scales, black eyes, no barbels, and an underslung sucker mouth. It is usually bluish or grayish in color; never yellow. The blue coloration is always present in the tail fin. There is a prominent lateral line. It's body is narrow and compressed in cross-section.

Atlantic salmon

Atlantic salmon have silvery to yellowish brown sides with dark spots. Atlantics may resemble brown trout, but the tail is slightly forked rather than square, and there are no spots on the adipose fin.
View
Muskellunge

The muskellunge has a long, torpedo-shaped, muscular body, perfect for producing great bursts of speed when attacking prey. The differences between what were once thought to be three subspecies have been discovered to be only variations in colouring. The one known hybrid of the species, the muskellunge/pike hybrid, or tiger muskellunge, has prominent vertical bars and spotting, and has been confused with highly marked, purebred muskies.
