Ok do you happen to have pictures of Northern BG and Native BG. I would like to see what the difference is so when I catch fish around here I know what they are.

Also where can you purchase adult BG?

Hey Guys, I’m falling behind on my BG posts…..
First of all, thanks Musky Mod and Eric for your complements, as well as Bruce for this forum abut BG’s.

Secondly, David I am remiss in not answering your question “any information on a coppernose x northern bluegill cross?”

As Bruce states “David, I think the coppernose bluegill does hybridize with northern bluegill.”
I also know that they hybridize with our native bluegill and it is my belief that what I call “Arkansas strain” is a mixture of BG genetics.

Our pond was originally stocked with “pure” Florida CNBG, Arkansas fish farm CNBG, and native BG that my grandsons caught from a neighbor’s pond.
I call these TAF CNBG.

The photos below are examples of what I select as Florida and Arkansas strain CNBG.
The TAF CNBG are brutes but I prefer the coloration of the pure Florida strain.

After a massive fish kill in July, I recently restocked our pond with ~150 adult “Texas Strain CNBG”, that are a result of some of my best pure Florida CNBG males, crossed with Overton Fish Farm’s best pure Florida CNBG females, which have produced an outstanding example of CNBG.

Nice fish George.....a true beast!

David, I think the coppernose bluegill does hybridize with northern bluegill. George is in North Texas, and I've heard of coppernose populations through areas of Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia, South Texas, etc.

David, I caught this CNBG on a "match the hatch" serendipity fly.
I was fishing for HSB (Hybrid Striped Bass) for transfer from
grow-out" pond to main pond, and utilize a foam pellet fly that matches fish food pellets.

Really nice coppernose, George! Care to share what you caught it on?

I know this subspecies is native to the Florida panhandle. Anyone know how far north they survive? Or any information on a coppernose x northern bluegill cross?

Thats really a nice bluegill. I thought he was going to be a little closer to 1.5#.
