That is a good one
the pointy nose and forked tail are the best trademarks on that fish and then knowing what swims in the area helps too ...Quote:

Always heard red breasts won't get the deep red accept in running water. Don't know for sure but that has been my experience in catching them. Scott

I doubt if there are many that could identify the 25-30 different species ( just guessing ) out there. Scott
Researched them a bit and ours are redbreast from the east coast originally, they were stocked in lots of Texas waters way back when , they just never get red here for the most part and always seem to be in running water spots , don’t remember ketchn any in lakes ?Quote:
