Black-Nosed Crappie

[straw hat]

Just a note that I thought some of you might find interesting. The black-nosed crappie is a recessive genetic variant of the black crappie. It was first discovered in Beaver Lake in Arkansas in 1984. At least seven states now grow black-nosed crappie in hatcheries for stocking. They are a popular quarry in southern California. They grow slightly faster and are more agressive than the normal black crappie. They also occupy shallower water than other crappie, especially in summer. Tagging studies are currently being proposed in several states. I have caught many between CC and Roark Bluff over the years including one 12".
