Thread: Do river fish move?

interesting, dont know

Depends upon the species, season, water height, etc.. There have been different species which were tagged, caught and reported. Good question, I am sure that many will chime in.

Kentucky fish n game has an article in their website something like crappie by numbers or something like that. Read it a long time ago and if I remember correctly they had some tagged and furthest they traveled was around 3 miles I believe. Not positive so dont hold me to it. Might see if I can find it and see what it said. Had some good info in it on why I think Barkley was mostly black crappie and now predominately white or vice versa. Let me see if I can find it again.

Well couldnt find it but did find out who the biologist was that did the study and sent him an Email. So we will see what results come of it. I will let ya know if I get anything back.

That is one of the studies that I remembered reading, couldn't remember where.

I thought it was in one of earlier issues of Crappie World a few years back..
Will be glad to here response from your man in Kentucky - Mike.

found a butchered up rendition of it on outdoor life. But in their true fashion they dropped the best parts of it. But did list the biologist. If he sends it to me Harold I will forward you the entire report.

Thanks my friend. - should be interesting with St Johns, Astor event comming up
on April 12th.- That would be a classic way to check a lot of things.
St Johns river, Lake George, Lake Dexter, & Woodriff.
