I've been wondering lately if Smallmouth would make it down here in Tennessee. Unfortunately we're not really deep south or far north so I think either stocking pure Florida LM or Smallmouth could be risky. Any suggestions? I thought for SMB having a spring fed pond or well fed pond that is constantly trickling water out of the spillway might be a good thing but then I'd be spending way too much $ and time trying to replace all of the fertilizer always being flushed out.
