Sorry if I show my ignorance, but will HBG successfully spawn? I thought they were like HSB, not able to reproduce. I wonder if HSB would survive in my pond? If it does not rain the top layer of water gets really warm, no shade on the pond. No vegetation, and gets very muddy with rain, not much grass in the pasture yet. It will clear to about 30" in a week or so. I live less than 2 hours from Overtons, so I can add or replace fish pretty easy.
Thanks for the help!
I would say yes on the HSB others here in Texas have them, I have them here in Arkansas in my pond and it's hitting 100 here today. 2 things.
1. There not that expensive to try, put 10 or 15 in there and see what happens if you can get them fairly easy.
2. If you can you want to avoid catching them once your water temp hits about 80. Specially the bigger ones say 3 pounds and up cause they can't handle the stress of being caught I the warmer water and they almost always die once you release them. Unless you take great care of them after the catch like Mr. George does. He the man to talk to he knows all about them HSB!! And he is in Texas....
