Sean,
The experts are going to have to answer that, but my observations says NO. We continue to catch fish at will. We culled over 100 LMB this season so far and I see another 200 coming out before the end of the year.
The RW of our mature LMB is around 110% Our RW of the younger LMB was around 93% but after the culling we have been doing, they are now around 101% just a few months after the spawning season.
Fish continue to strike at both live and artificial baits. The new record is over seven pounds and was a blast to catch. 115% RW according to the charts.
