Any Members From Bridlewood CGY?
 
The reason I am asking is about the wetlands on James McKevitt Rd. The wife and I were there taking some pictures and I noticed the wetland is crazy full of minnows. Does anyone know what species they are and were they unlawfully introduced?

Based on the sheer numbers it seems something may be surviving the winter in there.

Most likely 6 spined sticklebacks

Hey Buck Krazy, I miss some of your monster Pike pics? I hope your still out chasing down them sharks.

I was reading a couple of web sites about the Sticklebacks and you may be rite. Most of what I read was referring to finding them in lakes and this is a small wetland? The amount of minnows for such a small wetland was why I was thinking something is surviving the winter in there.

Could they be tadpoles Dodger?

BK is accurate tho, a lot of small ponds and ditches that hold small fish, the species is likely sticklebacks from my experiences encountering them.

Reason i say stickleback is that sprice meadows pond is full of en, and there are no big pike pics to post... Maybe some gerrards and salmon after the long weekend tho :)

The Spruce Meadow Ponds makes sense as this is all the same wetland.
