## Resource

One of NCWRC's district 6 biologists, Troy Thompson, talks to us about the current health/status of (mostly black) crappie in the Yadkin & Catawba chains of lakes in the NC Piedmont. We discuss: - aging fish - stunted populations - which lakes have higher/lesser recruitment - what causes some lakes to have larger/smaller fish - the effect of the removal of the size & creel limits on the Yadkin lakes For more answers, feel free to reach out to Troy: Troy Thompson // District 6 Fisheries Biologist I Division of Inland Fisheries NC Wildlife Resources Commission 1721 Mail Service Center Raleigh NC 27699-1700 office (primary): 910-439-2006 mobile: 704-465-4864 troy.thompson@ncwildlife.org
