Bullhead(BH) will eat a lot of FHM. Toward the end of summer did you see very many small YOY YP in the traps? BH and BG both 4"+ could be eating lots of YP fry? To maintain your YP numbers in later years you may need to consider every couple years sentimentally stocking some YP(4"-6") who would survive better than the 2"-4"ers. Plus the 4"-6" would be better pellet eaters if trained when purchased. Where did you get your YP and did they tell you where they got them - self raised or purchased? Lots of fish farms buy their retail stocker fish.
