These three individuals were observed swimming through the clear water of Spring Creek in Richardson, Texas. I saw these guys just as they emerged from the shade provided by the Routh Creek Parkway bridge. It was a hot, sunny day, and the trio of catfish did not swim far before they turned around and returned to the cool relief of the shade.
