This site is awsome for angling knowledge. I have started to put together a 3-ring notebook for the boat. Just for reference of items used frequently that you just cant remember and need. I have heard an old Indian tale that if you want to catch an owl, study the mouse. In that thought 80% of a bass' forage is the crayfish(crawdad for you southerners). I have found a small list like this from the OSU site but it didn't give the states just the latin names. I just have to say that from as much as I have learned so far in the past 4 months on this site.... guys i'm here to stay.
thanks

Interesting you bring up that story... it's one of my favorites.

I happen to know the guy who owns studythemouse.com... although it has not been developed yet...

but it will... it will... (knowing that guy...)

(So don't go there yet ;D it's just in a holding pattern)

crayfish come in about every color there is in one place or another.





Take a look at this one
Wayne Carpenter found
on Lake St. Clair - the
model for the new custom
color - St. Clair Crayfish.
