Tracy, if I had a brand new lake, which I don�t, with a unique opportunity to stock pure gentics, I would go with the pure genetics.
Reviewing all this biological info from Eric�s link has my head spinning, so my standard procedure is to go with my fishery consultant�s recommendation on stocking pure LMB genetics.
The Camelot Bell Florida LMB �jumpers� that you are scheduled to receive will be at least 6th generation Florida LMB, each year brood stock selected from the best of the best, based on fast growth, catchability and confirmation.
You can always add native LMB but will never have an opportunity that you have at this time - I am experiencing a severe case of pond envy!
