I put in four culverts in about three FOW when the pond was first renovated. The only spawning age CC I had last year were three 2-3 lb albinos I got from a nearby (15 miles) intermittent source. Even though a Lonoke CC farmer told me it was next to impossible, I think I got some recruitment (at least one new albino CC survived). Why else would I have caught a 13-inch albino in my pond three weeks ago when all the other survivors from 11 albinos I stocked were at least 13" by end of season last year, and near three pounds or more now?
