I suppose you have yours genitors inside,
I had breeders both indoors and in spawning pond so I had reproduction on both levels.

Did you use your mat inside or outside.
Mats were used indoors only. TJ's spawning structures are used in pond.

If your genitors are outside in a pond, how do you get your larvae, do you have a trap for the larvae, I will make one next year.
This may sound trivial and a bit low tech, but I watched for males on nests. When a nest was confirmed, I flagged it to watch for fry, when they started showing up, I waited about 6 days for them to be able to sustain in the water column (fins near fully developed), then netted all I could in a 48hr period. I got lucky and had 2 late hatches that I was able to do a second collection 10 days later and again collected everything I could in 2 days.
