Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Placing branches down for YP spawn

This year's YP hatchlings, if well fed, should be 3" in August and 4"-5" by fall-October. I've seen young of year (YOY) 4"YP in August. These fish can easily be caught angling with a small piece of worm (#10or12 hook) or in a fish trap both fished close to shore 2ft-4ft deep providing a respectable number of hatchlings survived to be 1" fingerlings.
