The parkway is home to several types of game fish, including three species of trout—Southern Appalachian brook trout are native to the region, while rainbow and brown trout have been introduced. Smallmouth and largemouth bass, sunfish, bluegills and crappies are found in some of the parkway's man-made lakes and ponds. Some parkway waters are stocked and state fishing regulations apply. While brook trout gets most of the attention, there are many other fish species to admire. With colorful names such as bluehead chub, redlip shiner, silver redhorse, and rosyside dace, these fish are noticed by few visitors. Generally lumped together as minnows, these 25 fish species are usually just seen as a small flash in the water.
