Bloody veins in the egg sack are getting ripe for the spawn. They are close to spawning for March 9 and water temp only 55F. I typically see this 3-4 weeks later. Maybe it is stable weather, maybe it is blacknose, I don't know but I'm excited for a productive spawn and hope SC holds water.

Black nose is a one time shot, they do not reproduce successfully, hybrid.

This is just not true, the black stripe is a recessive gene of the same species. If you want to talk about how they use habitat and feed differently, I'm in.

post #7 in that thread seems to be pretty knowledgeable on the subject.

Black nose in other parts of the country do spawn. I was told by a biologist during the stocking that these will not reproduce. Maybe it's not true. The ones I have been catching are all the same size, clones, no small ones.
