Don't want to be a pessimist but Bobby Glennon a biologist with Malone and Sons in Arkansas, told me when they get ice on the ponds they lose Coppernose bluegills. Of course production ponds tend to be shallower than recreational ponds, so perhaps recreational ponds have somewhat of a buffer from rapid temps changes before the next warm up?
If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
