I can appreciate your taste for flathead and black crappie, both are my favorite, we still catch a few on the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers, Blues are a lot more prevalent and easier to catch but a flat is a treat to catch and extremely tasty to eat, caught a 75 and a couple 40s last May on the Missouri, they are still out there but not as many as I wish, we put that one back but keep a few 20s and 30s to eat.
That being said, I understand they will not readily reproduce in still, (pond) waters, I was thinking they needed moving water to spawn, and obviously specific nesting habitat, which consists of a hole such as a barrel or pipe with the back end closed off. curious about the reproduction abilities in ponds myself.


All the really good ideas I've ever had came to me while I was milking a cow.
