Here's the permit.

Edit - hmm, not sure if that works. It's on this page, second to last link under General Fishing: Forms and Applications. Just click on Permit to Sell Nongame Fish From Public Fresh Waters.

When I walk my dog I often walk along the drainage behine our subdivsion (Harvest Bend, the Meadow). There are Gambusia every were, but I also see Sailfin Mollies and some bigger fish.

I the last time I saw Mollies I was at the east end of the ditch. You can tell the Mollies from the Gambusia because they are bigger and have blue on there fims. The Mollies are also hare to catch. Gambusia will swim into your net.

If I walk in the other direction, I come to a place were two ditchs intersect. There are several species living here A few day ago I saw a Texas Cichlid in breeding color here.

Yester day I saw a big snake in this locaton. I did not go back today

I am in Katy and would like to collect some natives in the area. I'm new
to the area (relocating here from Allen) so I am not very familiar with the
surroundings, is this place you're talking about near I10 and Mason Road?

Anyone on here in Katy?

Fish Trap

For mollies. I use fish traps. Academy sells a large black metal fish trap about 6" x 6" x 10". Put some bait in the trap wrapped in cheese cloth (grocery stores). i've used frozen worms or brine shrimp but a bit of hamburger or piece of chopped up shrimp will work. Place the trap in the water and wait until you see them inside. Note trap will catch sankes if left unwatched! A cast net is another way to to this. I carry borh whidn collecitng. Don't use it there are lots of logs or rocks or trash.

Good luck and carry a stick to warn that snake to move along!
