I think, because smallmouth are more susceptible to the algae problem, TPWD has given up stocking smallies in the Brazos River lakes.

I thought they stopped stocking them because they kept cross breeding with the guadalupe bass.

They also said until they figured out what cause it there would be no more stocking of smallmouth.. Whitney used to as good as it got before the fish kill. Oh and yes it is illegal to transport a fish caught at one lake and put it into another lake.

Prove me wrong. Definitely harder on Spotted and Smallmouth Bass than Largemouth. Find current info on DFW Lakes "I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully." - George W. Bush
