Thanks for clarifying that. I thought I had read to that effect some place, and I definitely was going to check into that before I did anything.

Don't want that for sure.

Only other option is find someone who can commercially sell SPB as fingerlings. That is the best way anyway. Assured of disease free stock if it is from a reputable hatchery.

Thanks for that reminder. I would still like to know if they are actually in our creek anyway. Have an old neighbor that has told me several times that the creek had a good bass population when he fished it years ago. Don't know if he would even distinguish between a LMB and SPB.

Last creek fishing I done was probably when I was less than a teenager. Fishing license wasn't even a consideration for us back then when on private property, although it probably in reality was required.
