kingfish...if you do decide to stock mud-bugs...from what I understand the "Paper Shell Crayfish" is less invasive and less likely to burrow into your dam and cause damage.

Last year I actually placed an order for mud-bugs, found out they were the "red swamp" variety and took the advice of some posters on this forum to stay away from the red swamp crawfish. I cancelled my order! (btw..i think red swamps are the most common available)

I may try a few paper shell crawfish this spring, but if I were you I'd be careful about dumping large numbers of red swamp mud bugs into your pond.



Fishing has never been about the fish....
