Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Evaluating and adjusting fish populations Collecting roe from pond trout - when?

So I harvested a female brown trout yesterday and it seemed to be the perfect time, because the eggs were starting to come out of the membrane but were not loose yet (I prefer to scrape eggs rather than have them loose). But the fish was very skinny, and the within the skien, there were lots of small eggs that look like they didn't develop. Is this because the fish was too skinny and didn't have the ability to produce more eggs? It obviously was not eating pellets like the other trout. There were just a few bugs in her stomach.

Any info on what these might be would be appreciated.
