Your first Native

[bjbass]

I am new to keeping natives as well, but I started out with crayfish, banded darters, and black dace minnows. I have moved on to a bluegill, pumpkinseed, and a smallmouth bass.

We catch spotted bass/smallmouth hybrids in some rivers around here......they are very aggressive, the true monsters of the Bass's.
