No not the eating kind.lol I have noticed alot of small fry fish around the banks sunning. Would these be from this year or last year? I am almost certain they are BG fry but it's hard to tell when they are that tiny.
I first noticed the fry about 2 weeks ago and they where tiny, maybe 1/4-1/2 inch in size. I haven't checked the water temp but we have only had a few days over 70 and they havn't been close enough to get the water temps, IMHO, up to spawning temps. If had I had to guess it's probally in the low 60's not any hgher that 65. These fry fish look like this year's, but I am thinking maybe they mad it though the winter. I also saw a LMB about 3-4 inches. Would this be from last years spawn? What to 'yall think?

Last years. To early at your location and water temps for fry that size. 20 day + - BG yoy = 30 days + - post spawn

Donnie, last night along the edges of my pond I observed what I am sure are 2007 tail-end Charlie BG YOY, sized 3/4" long and shorter.

Thanks ewest and Theo! I didn't know that those little guys could be so strong and make it through the winter. I guess you learn something new every day.
