RE's are doing well in Southern MI, that's why I thought it might work in Southern MN. It wouldn't be the first nor the last time I've been wrong though.
But southern Michigan seems to be their northern limit and that is in natural lakes where they have deeper water and less temperatur flucuations in winter vs. ponds where the temps are less stable. Many times in the northern part of their range they just disappear from ponds.
As far as Bass and bluegills in Michigan not working well I respectfully disagree. I believe with the proper management you can do it. I believe this advice comes from the MDNR -- the same people that say grass carp won't work and won't allow them? :rolleyes:
