That makes sense to me, but I thought only BG and possibly RES did that. I would think that would have to be the explanation.
Also since all of the spawn would have been the first spawn, since all were fingerlings the year before, I wonder if some sexually mature later and that causes a later than normal spawn.
I do not know that, just speculating.
The 4" SMB I move to my forage pond where they grow up to about 6-8" then if/when I catch them again (caught a couple with cast net recently) move them to my main pond. So the small 3-4" SMB I catch get moved twice. First from RES/SMB pond to my 1/20th acre forage pond to grow up a little so they will not get eaten, then over to my main pond to grow out on plenty of BG and become a bonus fish along side my LMB.
Raining cats and dogs right now outside and I had a dozen fish to clean and was going fishing. Maybe I will wait a little while.
