Most recent numbers are a very good start. With those fish you should get a few spawns from the HBG sometime this summer. I wouldn't hang any more of Shelby's YP ribbons than 2 or 3. 2 or 3 ribbons that can hatch on branches will provide lots of small perch. You will likely get some ribbons from your YP. I don't have any trouble having YP that I haul abort their eggs.

If the old rye grass is in water 0 to 10" deep you will get a good GSH spawn and hatch especially if the water is not real muddy. Muddy water sediment tends to smother the eggs.
