I have two hatchery ponds .25 acre 7ft deep with pure strain coppernose here in west TN. We had 14 days of below freezing temps, three full days of single digits and 11 inch of snow/ice mixed. Right now the temps are jumping into the mid 50’s. Still another day before ice out of pond. I plan on seining the ponds coming this Thursday to see the extent of fish loss. Bob Lusk thinks it could be a major %. Fingers crossed.
