I believe they are native through much of the eastern half of the USA and quite far north. I caught them in the Great Lakes area where I grew up. Someone mentioned catfish as the best predator option for craws, but we have channel, blue and flathead cats here and they are nowhere near as attracted to crawfish as are the bowfin (called grennel down here). They do very well in small bows and even ponds. But I wouldn’t want more than one male as they are a voracious too predator that will likely move on to eating your fish when their preferred crawfish are gone
