Thread: Hey D10

I fish Greers Ferry too, and wandered that myself. I thought they might be a cross between a white crappie and a black.

I catch more on Devils Fork than Middle Fork.

We have stocked crappie in Greets is a very long time. So if the black nose trait is found in crappie in greets, it is either natural or a result of a stocking that occurred long ago. All that a black nose crappie is, is a crappie that had a black stripe that went down the length of thief head. After this was identified, biologists used it to identify different cohorts if fish. They se nothing special. Thanks.

Thanks for the infor D10.

Those black-nosed critters often get stuck in the rocks

I was watching a fishing show a few weeks ago and a guide on Sardis caught one and made a big deal about it saying they don't reproduce. He said they were a hybrid.

They do have a hybrid in Mississippi that's called a"Magnolia Crappie " but it's not the same as a Blacknose
