Calling to action Texas anglers and fish enthusiasts! We want YOUR help to track occurrences of our native Texas fishes.
Introducing the Fishes of Texas iNaturalist Contest!

Win this first challenge by submitting the most observations of Guadalupe Bass to the Fishes of Texas Project on iNaturalist between July 1st- August 31st. Each submission will strengthen the dataset used by TPWD and researchers across the state to aid in the conservation of Guadalupe Bass and our river ecosystems 
Contest Rules:
• Observations must occur between July 1st – August 31st and tagged to the Fishes of TX iNaturalist project.
• One fish per observation with photo quality good enough to correctly ID to species.
• Location information must be within 100m of accuracy.
