If you stocked them as fingerlings last spring, then they are more than 18 months old. Right? They should spawn at 4 inch length. BTW, you wont catch many RES in a trap in shallow water so it is not representative of the population. Try putting the trap in a more fishy looking place near some weeds or brush and see if you dont get some fatheads.
Yep, they were fingerlings 14 months ago. If these are the offspring of that stocking, about when did they hatch? - The sampling area was surrounded by alot of vegetation...fishy looking. I have been seeing FH cruising in small packs of 25 or so around the dock.
