Been awhile since posting anything but I do have some updates to add..
First, I have scads of fry in my forage pond and I'm not sure what they are!!! :-))
I have 2 very different fry types so I believe one to be bluntnose (biggest about 3/4") and the other has to be either spotfin or Red shiner?? After several hours of watching standing perfectly still I've seen several thousand fry in different stages with most being about 1/2" on down. I'll report when I can verify ID.
On a second note, I found a source of adult Red shiner less than 3 hrs from me. A fellow fisheries manager has been seining some waterways and sent me a pic of a single fish asking me what the heck is was and to my surprise it's the most perfect example of a male Red shiner.
