Do you get any ice on your pond in Tennesee? If so, your coppernose won't make it through the winter.
I don't know yet as this will be the first winter for our pond. I assume the spring water will help keep the water temp up, but only slightly. The inflow averages only between 10 and 15 gam into the 3/4 acre pond. I know many of our local ponds will freeze up occasionally during cold periods. However, they usually only freeze for a couple of weeks at a time.
