If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

Water temps 50 (maybe colder now with a cold rain overnight and currently) but no eggs in SW Michigan either. Good thing as I need to find more 'leggy' branches to put in.

Nothing yet in Ontario. Very windy here today and I could use some more branches in the pond.

Nobody yet?
Bill Cody?
Esshup?
None yet in my big pond for sure. Holding pond it's hard to tell as the wind as stored it up a little reducing visibility.

No strands yet in Northern Illinois as of a couple days ago. Since then 1 inch of rain and two days of high wind have reduced visibility to about a foot so I doubt I will be able to see the strands when they spawn now anyway.

None here today again. 3/18/16 Will finally be seining today. Other things got in the way, including weather.
Waiting on an overnight shipment of tilapia. Supposed to be here before noon. It's 11:24!
Sure wish the Fed Ex and UPS would get some competition. They can't keep up with what they have!

I know! LOL I just want to complain!
Just went to the mail box to make sure they didn't pass it off to the Post Office. A delivery Fed Ex vehicle just went past followed by a Fed Ex tractor trailer. Go figure!
Gonna check the tracking number now.

After noon. Notta!
Going to open up the box before the driver leaves. If I see more morts than I want to see I won't accept it.
I had 20 morts last time and lost half of 300 over a couple of weeks.
Brian tells me their climate control for this stuff in the aircraft is seriously lacking.

Regular egg ribbons daily since last week. I expect my YP spawn to be finished late this week. This year I used fresh evergreen branches and bare twig branches. I am getting more ribbons on the bare branches with numerous twigs.

I would be happy to just see one of a hundred YP I put in my one acre pond a week ago. I feed my minnows and grass carp everyday but no YP yet has showed up. I have no predators so I know the YP are ok. Is this normal?

John,
At the size you purchased and time of year I don't believe they were feed trained. So they are probably feeding on invertebrates or whatever you have in the pond.

A Christmas tree without needles will be very adequate substrate for YP to drape their eggs.
John the newly stocked YP are adjusting to the new surroundings and likely feeding on some natural foods. It may take a few weeks and warmer water for them the locate the pellet feeding area. Keep doing what you are doing, the YP will show up at your feeding area.

Thanks Bill.
My YP were supposed to be feed trained but have never taken feed. I wish I would have caged them at first before releasing them, with so many minnows to eat I don't blame them.

If you have enough minnows to feed them I wouldn't worry about pellet feeding.

Hi Cecil! Well it's fun to feed them and if they ever recruit I may run out of minnows. The only time I see my YP is if I catch them.
