Thanks for your reply. This is the way I thought it was, but over the past 2 years the rolls of the fish ( ie.. bedding and population) have seemed to be reversed. It has been very puzzeling trying to figure out what is going on. This years weather might have something to do w/ it. The temps have been up and down drastically his spring. LMB and RES have been on ond off bed for at least a month.
