I've been trying to catch LMB that are smaller than the ones we caught this spring whenthey were a year old, but I have not been catching ay smaller LMB. Question could my BG have ate most/all the LMB fry? Here is what we've been catching.

This year was a poor year in this area for LMB recruitment compared to past years. Temp swings pushed them off the beds a few times. Both BG and larger LMB prey on YOY LMB.

I consider LMB under 8-9" to be part of the food chain.
