Brian, that is interesting and something I hadn't heard of or considered. Obviously my thoughts are influenced by hot weather, sparse rainfall and ice that is only seen in margaritas. I have always know that BG were prolific spawners but have also figured that the timing of their spawning urge was matched by the timing of the LMB's and other predators appetite, both being water temperature or hours of daylight related. What are the recommended stocking ratios or specie's?
