R:

We stocked 3"-4" BG/RES in May 2003, had a (small) late spawn (of both, I honestly believe) in late Summer the same year.

If I read back correctly, you put in 2" BG/RES in the Fall of 2004. My guess would be that they didn't grow much by Spring 2005, and would have had a lesser chance of a spawn in 2005 than my bream did their first year.

This is just an amateur's guess. You've got a lot more water than I do, probably making it easier to miss seeing what limited spawning activity you might have had in 2005 or the relatively low numbers of new fingerlings that would have resulted. Like ewest said, your direct observations and catch results (and seining, if you did any) are by far the best source of info.
