Not sure what the water temp is but air temp has been 18 to 22 degrees at night, so wouldn't think water temp could be too high. Do fish normally start making beds a while before they spawn? In Dog Beers, I've had one.

Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:" "She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."

Maybe you are just seeing them due to increased water clarity, lower water levels etc.? If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
