We never stocked craws, in order to build our water the developer damned a creek up creating our lake, so I'm guessing there should be a fair number of natives. Our F-1 Bass population was very low the past few years according to our evaluator so we added Northern Bass last Fall.
We thought the craws would give the 2lb Bass a kick start while giving them a chance to get established. They have plenty of places to hide.


Zep, I don't think we will have problems with burrowing because our dam is about 150' thick at its base (the water depth at the dam is 30')
