Briery Creek is a large body of water and isn't as prone to temperature swings. You can certainly try FL strain LMB, just expect mortalities. Now is the time to try Camelot Bell fingerlings if you decide to go that route, as your pond currently is devoid of predators. I would stock no more than 25% of your bass as Camelot Bell LMB though. Make a new post in this sub forum and we can unhijack this thread... You have more work to do on your pond besides just adding BG and FHM if you want to produce trophy bass IMO.
