Any place you can get in the water. So Cal and SW Az have a zillion of them
and a whole bunch of different varieties too.

Around here the kids will catch by hand in some of the dirt and rock bottom
irrigation canals and waste water ditches. I have caught them in minnow
traps baited with meat, and also in a dip net dragged through the edges of
weed beds.
