Pat, she looked like she had done a partial spawn, she was roughed up a little with a little bloody spot on the base of her tail but she still had some eggs in her based on what I saw. She was caught in about 8 to 10' of water but near shallows. The 3 lb'er caught on the fly looked to be in much better shape with fewer spawning marks if any.
I have had good fishing this past week. Caught a 10.8 lmb on Caddo lake. My second one over ten out of the lake in the past 6 or 7 yrs. This larger lmb looked to be on or near the nest with spawning marks at the base of her tail. She also looked to be partially spawned out but still had a sack full of eggs in her. I could see what looked to be eggs about the size of a baseball in her that was located near her or over her vent opening.
Pat, have u noticed at your pond that the lmb spawn will go on the spawn from early March to where I saw males on the nest as late as May last year.
