Excellent field guide! I have netted fish with Rohde and Arndt on numerous occassions in South Carolina, and this book was good as gold! The authors accurately depict each species, its habitat preference, and where exactly they occur in the states covered. This book is very easy to read for anyone. This is a must have for anyone serious about fish in the Carolinas, Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware. The pictures are rather good, as any wildlife photographer would know that fish are among the hardest to photograph as they constantly move and lose color when stressed out. -Anthony J. Chodan
