By the way regarding the sunfish is that a red ear?
Yeah, the majority of it anyway.
This is a small company pond so I can’t say for absolute purity on any sunfish species but this one looks very Redear to me. No idea who contracted for stocking so many years (decades) ago, but they had quite a variety pack. Bigger crappies look like pure blackies, but then I get these smaller one’s which may be a more recent addition…
Naturally occurring Blacknose or are they Magnolia Crappies (W fem x B male triploid hybrid)? I don’t really know, guess we’ll see how big they grow and bend the flyrod.
Like most of you, I don’t get around to the web much on the laptop for posting and hope to change that this year. Fishing, OTOH, is something I do at every opportunity if there is liquid water to lay a line in. Creeks are fickle, but local ponds and pits produce even on partial thaws so my part of Indiana ain’t bad to reside in. Nice early start this year in late February/March for flyrodding.
