Biologists identified about 10 species of fish, including this white sucker, in Hoover Creek during a study in 2008.

Herbert Hoover acquired his lifelong love of fishing in the creeks of his home town. He even authored a book, Fishing for Fun in which he wrote, "All men are equal before fish."

Fishes occur in Hoover Creek when the flow is stable. Visitors commonly see minnows like creek chub. Scientific inventories and monitoring of fish species help park managers gauge the creek's health.
