I will figure something out. Thanks for all the info. on these fish. I wish I knew more about the Florida Black Bass & how its different from the regular northern LMB
As has been said KG, both Coppernose and Florida Largemouths have problems the farther north one goes. It's just too cold in the winter for them. The philosophy here is you're better off planting fish that are acclimated to your region.
That said, there is no reason you can't have an excellent pond planting northern largemouths and bluegills. Be aware that there is no replacement for knowledge, and there is no silver bullet fish regardless of how creative the marketing names are.
Not only is the magazine Pond Boss a good source for pond management information (back issues and lists of topics are available), Bob Lusk has some excellent books available on the subject listed on this website.
