Ken, it sure is cool that you have fliers in a pond. Maybe it's because we don't have them up here, but they are a cool fish.

Fliers get bigger then 5-7 in. in this area and the record is over 3 or 4 lbs. but couldn't verify it on the net. Ewest has probably seen some big ones. They are really cool, colored like a shiner and the body like a hybrid of croppie and BG. They love old mill ponds and I haven't caught one in 30 years till that pond flooded last year.
Two ponds, 13 and 15 acres on the Mattaponi River.

Dave W., yes they are cool. Do you have any bowfins, we have several, they are meaner and uglier then some of the women in Dave D. state.

There's a picture (I think somewhere here) of one of them in spawning colors. Irridescent green fins.

Ken, we have a few bowfin around in SD. They were really common when I was doing a study on small, pretty Minnesota lakes about 2 hours east of us.
