Default Freshwater fish identification?

Hi all!

I do most of my diving in Lake Mead, Nevada.
I've been looking around, but have been having a hard time finding a web-site to help me identify the fish I am seeing.

I know the basics, and can, of course, tell a carp from a catfish, etc. ...but
some of the juvenile fish look a little different than the adults, and I know there are a couple of endangered fish in the lake that I'd like to keep an eye out for too...

so....I'm wondering if anyone knows of a web-site that gives good information (and maybe even pictures or sketches) to help me sort out some of what I'm seeing. ...

Thanks a million!

Go to your local DNR web site and that may help you. Then check at your local dive shop. They may have a waterproof sheet you can take with you underwater.
