I have heard of people say the Magnolia Crappie, but I don't know much about it. Supposedly you can stock them in ponds and not worry about them over populating. I am not sure if this is true or not.

That's what I have heard about the Magnolia also was developed for pond stocking

I've caught those in several different places I've fish in the past. It seems like it's almost always in clean, clear water. I say almost because I caught one last week in a relatively dirty tributary of the Arkansas River.

My buddy at the Hogan hatchery sent me pics last year of the blacknose crappie. I think i posted them somewhere but i belive he said they still stock them regularly.

What characteristics does a magnolia crappie have to identify it? I have caught many black nose crappie but never heard of a magnolia crappie..
