I put some males and females into a production pond just after they started spawning in the pond I took them from three weeks ago. I finally saw a male on a bed in the deepest water about 4 days ago. Still no bluegill fry although I have plenty of fathead fingerlings which I must have pumped in when I filled this pond.
Perhaps the cold spring followed by a quick warm up has them screwed up in some of our ponds up north?
