Update...I see SF spawning beds in the shallower areas. The visibilty is only about 24 inches so I suspect there are some deeper ones as well. Lots of FHM are spawning in burrows they have made under flat rocks.

I don't know whether my YP spawned as the visibility was so low it was immpossible to see if there were egg strands. I also don't know if the SMB (3 year old fish) spawned. Guess I will wait and see.

So the forage base is growing great! smile I may be forced to stock LMB next spring to keep up if the SMB and YP didn't spawn. frown Heck I may have to stock the LMB even if the SMB and YP spawned. My forage base is skyrocketing and I don't want stunted SF.

Edit: ....and I know a lot of you forum gray beards warned me of SF over population but, heck it was an experiment!....hmmm maybe should have stocked more YP last fall...next time! grin
