[quote=snrub] If you purchase from Arkansas suppliers they are most likely intergrades so may be more tolerant to colder temps.
I have seen some brutes that are positively Arkansas intergrades - really nice fish!

George,
If the some of the bluegills from Arksansas suppliers are intergrades how likely is it the bluegills they truck up here in the north may also be intergrades?
Most of the bluegills up here come from Arkansas so...
It could explain why some of the bluegills stocked up here seem to stress more in the winter than the native fish.
