Not going to gamble on coppernose. I'm just north of Tulsa, OK. For every person I talk to that says they'll do good, I talk to two that say I'll lose many every winter. Not taking that risk. I have spent a lot of time on here and know the merits of native bluegill and hybrids. I also know the disadvantage of each. I have a pond that is just under an acre and I do not wish to spend night and day trying to manage it as a bass fishery. Native bluegill would be ok, but the hybrids interest me.
I understand F2s and so on may lose desirable characteristics, but have never heard of a hybrid turning into one of the parents.
