One common mistake anglers make when identifying fish species is relying solely on coloration. Fish can change color based on their environment, mood, or breeding stage, so color alone is not a reliable indicator. Another mistake is overlooking key features such as fin shapes, scales, mouth size, and body shape, which are crucial for accurate identification. Additionally, anglers sometimes misidentify fish due to their juvenile or seasonal variations, leading to confusion. It's essential to consult field guides, apps, or local experts to correctly identify fish species.
