Read an article about those the other day. It said the AGFC raises them and releases them because the uniques "racin stripe" helps them with creel surveys.

Barnett has them too.

Those with the black stripe originate from a lonoke fish farm the game and fish used in the past for stock.

I've always wondered where they came from. I have caught them in Chicot, Grand, Wilson, Grampus and Wallace but I've never caught one in the River or the oxbow lakes. All the lakes named above have been stocked at some point and time by the AGFC. They put on a good fight even during the winter.

Way back in 1967 or 68,I was floating around the Tonkin Gulf,a shipmates girlfriend sent him a copy of " sports afield "and the section that had all of the1 or 2 paragraph, Notes of intrest,said thot the Loneoak fish hatchery had devoleped a crappie with a stripe down its nose and was called the Loneoak crappie but that was the only time that I ever saw it in print.And I have yet to catch one myself.If I hadn't been from NLR I probably would not have noticed or rememberd anything about it.
