I took the kids to the park to play and theres a small lake there. Well I noticed alot of stirring water right near the shore so I went to investigate. Bunches of crappie spawning. There's some moss growing and they were swimming in circles and had the gravel showing. Little gravel circles in a sea of moss. lol There was one black crappie that was so pretty. It looked kind of like an Oscar from where I was watching. She kept going in circles, stopping and wiggling her tail, depositing her eggs in the gravel. Spent well over an hour just sitting there watching. I was kicking myself for not bringing my camera!! The way the sun was hitting I had a great view, and could have gotten some good pics. *kicking myself*

Thought it was too awesome to not share with you.
 
Hey, I'm glad you posted. Everyone's probably completely sick of my posts that start with, "...since I grew up by a lake..." but fish in the wild ARE awesome!!!

I always thought those nests they made (little gravel circles) were the coolest. If I could have anything I'd have a pond full of bluegills and sunfish in my back yard.
 
Sounds really great--what an opportunity. Thanks for sharing. . ..
