Oct. 28. North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission’s Lake Norman F-1 largemouth bass evaluation is in its second year.
This is a five-year study to examine the efficacy of stocking F-1 largemouth bass in Lake Norman. F-1 largemouth bass are a hybrid cross between Florida and northern strain largemouth bass that are produced in commercial fish hatcheries. These hybrids have been shown to grow larger than wild largemouth bass in other systems outside North Carolina.
The $369,000 funding for the project in Mecklenburg, Iredell, Catawba and Lincoln counties comes from a Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Grant.
