My plan is to catch every lmb (try to anyway) to increase RW. I’d like to catch more bass between 2-4 lbs.

My CNBG population is good with some being over 1 lb.

Any other suggestions?

This time of year due to spawning fish can have lower RW. So it may not be as bad as it seems. You should probably increase the harvest of LMB to 45 lbs or so annually. Keep us posted and report RW this fall.
