What water temps are you seeing? Is there any fishing, catch/release going on? Any runoff due to heavy rains? Any other species affected?

Spawning stresses can be tough on the bigger males, and in a weakened state they may succumb more readily.


"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
