Stocking crappie under the conditions stated
in the Mo dept of conv article makes sense
to me. At least, crappie are a fish that you
should be able to catch. I know of cases where
guys have spent a lot of money and time creating
a bass pond, but have difficulty catching them.
The hook shy bass have apparently learned what
an artificial lure is all about. And, hybrid
bass strains become even more difficult to
catch. If I ever get around to stocking my
ponds, I'll definitely consider adding a few
crappie.
