Was out looking around the pond with the family and noticed lots of small fry yesterday evening. I thought great the FHM live and have spawned. I went back out at noon today and got a closer look and they resemble more of a panfish. As I continued to walk the banks I noticed several RES sitting on nests. I just stocked them this year and have been watching them grow so the size was appropriate with my initial stocking. Is it possible for RES to spawn in the first year or are 2-4" fish holdovers from last year? Thanks.
