Fish identification can be challenging, but there are common mistakes to avoid. One mistake is relying solely on coloration, as fish can change color based on environment or mood. Another mistake is overlooking key features like fin shape, mouth position, or scale patterns. Misjudging size is also common; fish can appear larger or smaller underwater. Lastly, misidentifying juvenile fish as separate species is a common error. To improve accuracy, use field guides, consult with experienced anglers, and pay attention to details.
