The CNBG I stocked in the pond before draining and putting 18 inch clay lining last year are still living today in a livestock pond on my neighbors property. We seined most the fish out before cutting through my dam. I caught a few in it in spring to see if they lived. They looked great. Had the beautiful vertical markings on them. We did not have a super cold winter though. That live stock pond is around 20 foot diameter 10 foot deep at dam. It was new also.

If you ain't gonna fart, why eat the beans?
