Common Species

The fish below will give you an overview of what you might find in the river and its tributaries. In no way is this a comprehensive list because you never know what you might find. By clicking on each fish name you can learn more about the species. The fish have been broken down into categories of where they can be found. Some fish can be found in both tidal and non-tidal water depending what time of the year it is.
