Ben, awesome posts and awesome pictures.
Curious, where did you source the RES? Any mortalities?
Have you spotted any of your crayfish or ghost shrimp after stocking?
SNRUB, New York is a hike to get crayfish, but shipping is affordable. Actually free if you place a $100 order. By the time you get 100-200 crayfish and maybe a few sunfish or some fish food you can hit $100 order pretty easily. Free shipping is great and having them show up in good condition on your doorstep is even better yet
I also put in about the same amount of LCS and RES as you did about this time last year and am anxious to see how they are doing.
I'm looking at adding some pumpkinseed (for their cool colors!) and papershell crayfish this year for forage diversity.
I see you hoped to do perch this spring. I was fortunate with the help of PB members to arrange for perch this spring and they are hoping that the crayfish show up soon!
You should see FHM spawn soon or by now?
What success have you had in trapping the local shiners/topminnow etc this summer?
