These are fun even if we are just guessing. Often just before BG start the pre spawn move to find beds they become less interested in eating and more in spawning at least the bigger ones. This continues in the males through the spawn to swim up of the yoy. Two weeks ago we went through the same thing and by this weekend it should have passed until the next spawn. I think the major egg/fry predators of LMB are the non-spawning small BG. They (small BG) are also the major predator of the BG eggs/fry. Sorry CC are something I don't know much about wrt this situation. Could they be spawning. \:\) \:D
