Hey CJ, what's the status report to date on the pond you stocked with Asiatic clams? I'm thinking about trying them in a half-acre pond that will be a shellcracker pond. My second question would be, how would one go about collecting them? I just learned that they're native (according to the local paper) to the river that runs through my hometown.
Interesting side note: said river is one of three ecosystems being featured in an upcoming National Geographic as one of the most biologically diverse on the planet; one of the other two is a mesa somewhere in Africa, and the other is a rainforest somewhere in South America. A lot of anglers I know like to fish the river; I never have fished it much, wonder now if I should give it more attention. I do know it has some really beautiful longear sunfish, and the streams that feed it have a lot of rock bass; the river itself has everything from walleye to crappie to a thriving smallmouth population to gar to flatheads, etc.
