Re: [GSAS-Member] Tom Watson & local fish

Actually I said that I keep native fish.  Most of mine were collected in the 
Midwest or the southern US.  It is not legal to collect fish indigenous to 
the state of Washington.  There are all kinds non-indigenous fish that can 
be collected with a hook and line including a half dozen species of sunfish, 
two species of crappie, and at least two species catfish that can be 
collected that way.  Of course you need a fishing license.

You can find out more about North American native fish at:

http://www.nanfa.org/

You can download a 26 page PDF titled the "Warmwater Fishes of Washington" 
that talks about their introduction and where they are located in the state 
from the WDF&W site:

You can buy a wide variety of North American fish form Jonah's Aquarium:

I caught 3 green sunfish fishing in North Lake just before the season ended. 
They are now happily swimming in by (formerly) koi pond along with channel 
catfish and long eared sunfish.
