Strawberry Smallies

[cool][#0000ff]I don't think anybody has ever said they won't LIVE in Strawberry. But, they have to be planted in sizes large enough to live on available forage...crawdads and minnows. The problem is spawning and recruitment. There is a big gap in the food chain for several cold months where there is no food for the newly hatched fry to live on. They starve out before the cycle goes around and there are more items in the food chain small enough for them to eat.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]It would be like planting sterile hybrids to plant adult smallies. They would survive and grow just fine but would be mostly unable to reproduce.[/#0000ff]
