Prior to Bruce building his home, the quarry lake was stocked with what were marketed as F1 [Tiger]. They have done remarkably well under his influence as you'd imagine. SE NE has 2-3 months of water temps in the 30s. Either F1 can flourish this far North, or perhaps the fish are not true F1s.

Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after. ~ Henry David Thoreau
