The coastrange sculpin is mottled
brown to light blue-grey. The back is
darker and the belly is white. This
colour pattern makes it very difficult
to see this fish against the bottom of
streams and lakes. It has a large
white spot on its back in front of the
tail fin and a line along its side, the
lateral line, which runs all the way
from the gill plate to the tail fin.
Larger fish often show dark banding
on their dorsal (back), pectoral
(front side) and tail fins. The head is
large and the body tapers from the
head to the tail fin. It has no scales
but may have a patch of prickles
behind its pectoral fin.
