The only catfish I stocked were channel catfish but the area lakes have flatheads, blues and channel catfish. These little catfish are very numerous in the creek that supplies my pond and so I naturally wanted to know what they were. This wouldn't be the first time that fish have shown up in my pond that I didn't stock. This spring I discovered I had large numbers of threadfin shad that weren't stocked. I also caught a lot of baby bass in the creek with my net. It was interesting to see how different the baby bass were. I assumed all of the bass were from this years spawn but the lighter colored bass were almost twice the size of the darker ones. I wish I had taken pictures of the bass so you could help identify them as well. Next week I will try to post pictures of the bass.
