When water temps drop below 72F don't expect to have any BG spawning. If you have larger LMB (15"-20") for any essential benefit from supplimental stocked forage the forage items should be in the larger size group 5"-8". For larger forage, consider adding trout when the water temps drop to the 60-64F area. Too small of forage for larger LMB results in the bass expending more energy catching the small items than any realized weight gain.
