White Crappie
Message:
Rather than do a bunch of tedious browsing of archives, I thought I'd just throw it out there: what has been everyone else's experiences with white crappie in CT? I haven't actually taken notice the past ten years or so which species I reel in every time I reel in a crappie. The larger ones are much easier to tell the difference, and I haven't caught a large white crappie in over a dozen years. i may or may not have caught small ones since then I truly can't say. The last time I remember catching catching them was in a condominium pond feeding Branch Brook in Thomaston, CT. There were GIANT black and white crappie in there. Anyways ...

We don't have white crappie in the Northeast. White crappie are found more towards the Virginias, Carolinas, Gerogia, and Tennessee Valley.

White crappie are widely distributed in Pennsylvania, so I'm sure that they could be in Connecticut, too, although I've never seen one. But, then again, I've never counted the number of dorsal spines on the crappie that I've caught; black crappie have seven or eight, while white crappie have only five or six. I've always assumed that the ones I've caught were black crappie.
