4CP,

TP will not reproduce below 68 degrees. Hatch rates are low and survival of fry is low too even at 68F. It's been while since I last looked into this aspect of TP but I do remember thinking I would wait for 70-72F water to stock broodfish as the hatch rates and survival is good at that temp (though not as good as at >=75F).

I like Bill's idea of supplemental stocking of adult YP and culling the competing BG and GSF.
