Peachgrower this is what I remember from reading, but I could be mistaken. Experts please feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

LMB spawn earliest. RES and BG are next as water temperature rises and often overlap. GSF come slightly later than the first BG spawn (spawn in a little warmer water). GSF are generally believed to spawn once, but it is also possible for late maturing individuals to spawn for the first time later in the season as they reach sexual maturity. So as I recall it is possible to see GSF spawn later, but it is not their main spawning season.

So from my reading (not experience) it is likely BG or RES but it would not be impossible for it to be GSF.

I have personally seen RES on shallow beds this time of year.
