My first hatch of GSH occured in late May and they have already grown to 1"+. So long as the water temps are cool, less than 81 degrees, they will continue to spawn. smile See ewest comments on page 2 of this thread.

I too have wondered which way to go on this as well stock the fry or get some brooders from a bait shop.

Do you have natural spawning structure or did you add some stuff to your pond for them to spawn on?

I know FHM spawn multiple times but do GSH only spawn once or does it all depend on water quality and temps?
