Hank Bradshaw, sportsman and writer, calls him the Babe Ruth of the pan fish for when a crappie takes a fly it hits with every ounce of power he’s got just like' the Babe used to sock a baseball. The crappie is found in wat ers east of the Rockies, and when an angler seeks a substi tute for larges fish, he looks for crappies. They’ll fight with reckless abandon until licked to a gasping frazzle—and this fish doesn’t often pull the scales down much over a pound! Throughout the country the crappie is called by many other names: calico bass, speckled perch, speckled bass. It bites the year around on anything that squirms, artificial or alive. It likes a clean, hard bottom, comfortably pillowed with veg etation or brush, but will also do well over mud. Crappies may be distinguish ed from other sunfishes by gen eral appearance, as well as by the long dorsal and anal fins, which are nearly equal in size. No one has much difficulty making this differentation. Where the trouble comes is in distinguishing between the two crappies—the black and the white. For the record, the black crappie has a dorsal fin with seven or eight spines. The white crappie usually has six. The black crappie’s mouth is strongly oblique: that of the white is only moderately so. The color of the black crappie is olive, the shade varying, cov ered with dark green or black ish spots and without distinct pattern. Silvery olive is the col or of the white crappie, and it is mottled with dark green. There are several faint vertical bars on the flat sides which aren’t on the adult black crap pies. Both varieties have white, flaky meat, and are delicious to eat. Crappies stock well in most ponds and lakes. It is often recommended as the best fish to stock in artificial lakes. They make good running mates with bass and northern pike. Try night fly-fishing for crappies if you want some new thrills. They usually move into: the shores to feed as the sun goes down. But when a school of crappies quit biting, there’s no use arguing. You might as well quit too. Wedding invitations printed or engraved at The SUN office. HIGHWAY DEPT. WINS The case of Clarence E.
