I've removed 48 8-12in BH so far. The YOY BH are growing, of course and there are multiple age classes. GSF from YOY to 6in. LMB YOY to 6in. GSH also washed in and I caught about 200 during feeding with a cast net. They were released. I've caught LMB, GSF and HBG that are feeding on them.
The FHM population is being decimated so I have been removing all LMB and large GSF until I stock advanced size LMB this fall.
The water level dropped below the known spawning beds. Appeared to be GSF beds.
I don't believe my BG have spawned yet but I am catching some pretty ones in the traps and occasionally on RR.
The pond owners up stream are supposedly unwilling to nuke their mut ponds.
30 3-6in BH in 2 traps yesterday. They are always very fat in the traps.
How are you going to know unless you try!
