Saw - and still see many LMB in the shallows, but not clear they are nesting. I'm pretty sure they have been.

BUT - The gills are having a party. Added 6 yards of gravel to my existing 4 yards last fall. This is a large gently sloping area and the gills love it. This morning there must be a few dozen nests with the large gills standing guard. I think I need to get some fertilizer in there ASAP to help feed the new kids when they arrive.
