I am hoping Snipe's genetically superior YP can stand some slightly higher temperatures. If I can get my YP pond built this year, I will try to stock some next spring.

However, I am farther south in Kansas AND at a lower elevation. I think my average temperature is about 5-6 degrees F warmer than his operation. I might have to perform some delicate aeration operations to keep the DO and temperatures just inside of the tolerable range.
