They are fairly common here in Missouri. I've caught them in Truman, Lake of The Ozark and Pomme de Terre. We caught 3 or 4 this morning on Pomme.

I have only caught them in one of our local lakes here in Ohio. Still would like to know what causes this.

They are simply a regular Black Crappie with a dominant pigmentation gene that creates the stripe. They are not a crossbreed, but they have been used for crossbreeding to produce the Magnolia Crappie. They are natural inhabitants of around 14 different states, but I first heard of them coming from an area of the White River in Arkansas. They're used primarily to stock lakes, so that the biologists can easily tell them apart from the naturally occurring fish, when they do their creel surveys. The biologists also don't have to "tag" their brood stock fish with chemicals & then collect & kill the fish to figure out the catch rate of the stocked fish ... all they have to do is use the Blacknose & just look for the stripe !!
