Bill great advice! Thinking back, my only egg strand this spring was on the east shore as well. I put tree branches in on the west shore and had a egg strand without a branch on the east shore!
The fish were put in about 4 weeks after ice out this spring and a few were big enough to lay eggs, but due to water temps and timing I think most probably spawned in the pond at the fish farm.
They are getting plump now so I'll be sure to put trees in on the 4 banks and watch where the strands go.
I'm likely to remove the eggs as I have a small pond and no predators yet but we'll see.
Setterguy, don't worry, I never see mine either. My fish were pellet trained but I don't see them take surface pellets But they easily go in traps that are baited with pellets so I know they are there and getting chubby. I think they just hang out under the goldfish and shiners that are cleaning up on the surface and they clean up the bottom.
