How old would you say a 3/4" BG fry is? I netted some out this morning and was wondering if this is from this year's spawn or could it be left over from late last year.
I had a near total spring turnover kill in 2014 where apparently only a few BG fry survived. I thought it was a total kill until this year's flooding turned up some 4-5" BG trapped in the spillway pools. The first BG I restocked was some 1-4" BG in April of this year which I haven't seen hardly any sign of since. I've also observed no BG nests. I'm in east central Missouri.

Are you sure the leftovers from the winter kill are not green sunfish? Post of picture of the larger ones to verify the species. A BG 3/4" in MO in June could be this year's or last year's late spawn fish. BG likely spawned in MO mid to late May. The ones from the first spawn (May 15, 2015) with ample food in mid-June could be 1.0" with lots of zooplankton for food. However most would be 0.5"-0.7" in mid June.
