Hi all
This year my LMB have spawned like there's no tomorrow and they're still spawning. I've never seen a reproduction like this one. I have billions of fingerlings everywhere, all well protected by fathers.
At the same time I still have not seen any BG (last year the pond shallow areas was full of BG spawning in may.
The questions are:
- should I do something to decrease the LMB fingerlings number or simply let them be and let nature take its course?
- could they overpopulate the pond unbalancing fish population and food chain or they will be simply eaten by bigger LMB?
- is it possible that LMB, being more this spring in the 12-15" size, have extinguished BG? I have covers but not on BG spawn beds.
Thank you
