It would be unusual to have 3-4in LMB at this time of year under normal circumstances
It could be that last years YOY LMB were very numerous and growth rates were slow due to over crowding of the 2005 year class. Do you have heavy aquatic weed growth in your pond? I have seen this in our pond before where we have 3-5" LMB right after ice out. Also, 3-4" LMB are probably not old enough to be sexually mature and likely wont produce eggs just yet.
