Tadpole Happy Meals - 04/12/11 12:58 PM
We're regularly in the 60s this month in Missouri, and the sunshine has spawned all kinds of activity in my new 1 acre pond. Walked the shoreline late yesterday afternoon and saw a virtual McDonald's fast food production of Toad eggs (yes, toad, not frog) that will soon hatch into tadpoles that my fingerling LMB (to be stocked in May) should love. The shallows along the shoreline were bumper to bumper with mounted female toads laying long strings of eggs as the males rode along with smiley faces.
Also saw some fry? Would 3" BG and RES stocked last fall be spawning already? Or maybe the 10lbs of fatheads stocked last fall? Anyway, they seem to be happy campers....
