I knew it was getting close to that time of the year for YP to spawn but didn't realize just how close until I looked up the thread from last year. I stocked some last spring and hope they will spawn this year. I want to start putting in some branches for them to spawn in and was wondering if they would be more likely to spawn on the warmer side or cooler side of the pond first? How deep do you want to put them ect.... I have LMB in the pond so I know they can use all the help they can get.

I haven't seen a ribbon yet this spring, but from the looks of this little piggy it won't be long. What a fatty! Beautiful fish there Augie.

Yikes, I may have too MANY RIBBONS! I walked around today again and there must be 20-30 more. I bet there are 40 strands of all different sizes. I was planning to not artificially remove strands this year and see if i can restock but this might be interesting!
Can you have too many baby perch?
How can I tell how viable the eggs in the ribbons are? When they turn bright white does that mean the embryo is gone and now is a fry?
if my large spotfins eat YP fry then they will not be short of food in the coming weeks.
water has been pretty still with nice sunny days, but we have cold, high wind, cold rain and maybe a little snow flurries coming this weekend so I don't know if that helps the fry survive or not.
Water is very clear so I'm also not sure what the fry will live on.
Has this been a banner year of YP ribbons for anyone else?

Still haven't seen any ribbons in my pond. A new batch of muskrats moved in so the water is a bit on the muddy side right now. Yep, it's about time that Momma kicks the teenagers out of the house.

Also managed to snap a 110 Conibear on my hand, not once, but twice, while I was trying to figure out how to set the doggone things. lol Hope your hand is OK! We will start to get worried if we see that your screen name has been changed to "Lefty".

Put a short piece of ribbon in a glass jar, small tank or bucket with gentle aeration. In the house at 70F Eggs will develop dark eyes in 3-5 days.

That sounds like a good plan.
You might also have the new record for the smallest micro grow-out pond. I calculate your YP fry pond at .00115 acres!
Good luck on your project.
