Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Evaluating and adjusting fish populations Red ear (shellcracker) sunfish and zebra mussels

Thanks Travis and Eric, for the insights. I wasn't aware of different strains of RES so was assuming from the prior comments in this thread that they were primarily a warmer climate only fish. Here in North Central WV, our elevation is only around 1200 feet, so I'm assuming that wouldn't be much of an issue. We certainly have some areas that top 4000 feet and I guess that could be a different story.
