Im starting to prepare to go out collecting and wanted to know, from the people who live the Dallas/Ft. worth area, what different fish have you encountered? You dont HAVE to give a specific location. And also some pics wouldnt hurt.
Thanks in advance.

There's a lot more information I'm sure I'm forgetting (I'm a newbie to this forum myself), but hopefully this is of some help to you. If you'd like to get a better idea of the types of fish in the area, or you're interested in a particular species, go to the checklist section at fishesoftexas.org - it's a great way to ID fish, and it's completely free.

Each entry on this checklist has a link to the relevant animal's taxonomy page, where you can learn where they've been found, what habitats they frequent, and how big they get. I use this a guide for finding and identifying the fish I encounter. If I'm not sure of an animal's species, I consider habitat, locality, and size to make an educated guess as to what it might be. This'll give you all the information you need to find yourself some slough or dusky darters.

I saw some dusky darters today, Bruce. They're actually really common in the Jackson branch of White Rock Creek.
By the way, how on earth did you manage to catch your blackstripes?
I went out yesterday and got some really colored up Red Shiners and and about 20+ blackstripes. We only kept three and threw back the rest. We only seined a small portion of this creek. I caught them with a seine. Where ever I see them there are almost always sunfish and red shiners.
What city did you see the darters?
