Dave,
I know you are interested in gams, so excuse the O/T. I have now netted and stocked 360 of the little guys in my pond. They are the only critters I have stocked so far, and my water is still pretty muddy. I noticed a little splash in 1 corner of my pond, and grabbed the dip net out of my truck to investigate. A single swipe of the net yielded 4 gams, and all 4 were fully grown and very pregnant. None were that big when I originally caught them, and only a handful were showing possible signs of pregnancy. It's funny there were so many pregnant females in that 1 corner of the pond. It's almost as though they congregate in a "maternity ward". Within a week, I think my 360 will be doubled, and that's in fairly cold, murky water. Good luck with your gams. I hope they are as busy as mine.
