The rains and muddy water didn’t come in until June 7th so the spawn would have already taken place. With that, I feel like I lost a lot of the growing season, my LMB growth was pretty stagnant up until early August. I was getting very concerned that something was wrong. They have started getting larger here as of late. I fish often and record every predator fish caught. There is a big gap from 1.75# to 2.25#, I have very few LMB recorded between those 2 weights
Now every LMB I catch is either over 2.25# or this years hatch (under 8”)
I’ve also had some sort of Algae bloom going since the first of July and it just won’t go away
