FWIW I have 1 LMB in with 6 SMB. All about the same size though the LMB was a little smaller when stocked. IF I get a spawn in my little pond and IF I get recruits that dun look 100% like SMB and is maybe a MMB I will let you guys know and post a pic or two.
Hi Bill. Have you seen any sign of a YP hatch? I have tons of tiny FHM around the pond edge. Some are so small I can hardly make them out. I don't know how early FHM spawn but I sure didn't see this many in the pond before it froze last winter. Haven't seen any hatched YP yet but they might still be tiny. I threw in a baited minnow trap this afternoon to get an idea of what's swimming around.
