TyW,
Well what you've said makes sense. That is probably another reason why Lusk and many other fisheries biologists suggest stocking half Northerns and half Floridas and let nature take its course as they adapt to my local climate and water temp ranges. The only reason I wouldn't do this is due to being so far north (the Fla's won't survive). So the next best thing would be to stock the F-1's which according to G.Grimes(I believe) seem to do fine this far north. Like I said I'm in Tenn not Michigan. A couple of years ago I was talking to the guys at American Sportfish Hatchery in Montg,Al. and they were telling me the same thing but seeing as they were a hatchery I was looking for actual real life confirmation. Greg, if you read this didn't you say you had some cases of stocking F-1's in Tennessee and the worked out?
