Re: Texas Natives



Hello Timothy.  I have been here in Austin for 5 years.  Although I haven't
collected native fishes, I have looked around some.  Probably the best and
closest location is Bull Creek just off COT(Highway 360).  About halfway
between Reasearch and Ben White is Bull Creel.  There is a good expanse of
wading and several shallow to deep pools that offer quite a number of small
fish including sunfish, bass and other native minnows.  Good luck.

Regards,
