See maybe there is some merit then that black crappie would be fine in the northern part of North America. I pulled out a few male yellow perch that had milt running out of them and the water is still quite cold.

Now at 65-70 the kids would be in swimming and I know they would not be caught swimming in our pond just yet. The fatheads are milling around the shore finding a nice flat rock here and there all ready too.

See if the perch can beat the crappie to the spawn I think it could be done. I really want to do much more reading on this. I just learned that perch will spawn morn than once a year too.

Pellet trained black crappie I think would be great. I am just terrified to always read "NEVER EVER IN A SMALL POND UNLESS YOU CAN DRAIN OR WANT TO START OVER SOME DAY."

Cheers Don.
