ID - California to Alaska': $37.95
Learn about the fish families the inhabit Puget Sound.... the Spiny-Headed bottom
Dwellers.... The Right-Eyed Flatfish... The Lumpsuckers.... we know it starts to sound like mafia families and gives new meaning
to sleep with the fishes, but they are really cute once you get to know them!
After learning about basic Fish Anatomy, Families & Id methods we will take a stroll through
~ a lot of the specific fish you are likely to be fortunate to encounter in our local waters. We don't focus on crazy
scientific names and obscure latinisms, although Latin names are provided, instead we focus on giving you the tools to identify
those cool critters you keep running across and wondering 'what is that'?

join just the classroom lecture if you wish - and not be issued the certification.
