I've been seeing BG fry as small as 1" all winter. Set a trap yesterday and caught almost exclusively BG from 1-3 inches. Was hoping to find a couple of RES, but no.

I'll keep watching the LMB. If they dont spawn, I can always go catch a few more smaller ones to enhance the predation factor on these "perch".
