Thanks guys for the replies. I did have a total fishkill years ago when I couldn't get to the 4' of snow on top of the ice which prevented O2 production during daylight hours by bottom weeds. The banks were too steep from a bad drought for a snow blower to reach and I never thought it would be an issue. Over 100 lbs. of fish were dead after ice out including many nice bass. Had to start all over again. Broke my heart.
I have seen schools of babies (not sure the species) as well as 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc year fish. What surprises me is seeing pumpkinseeds on 5 beds this time of year. Always thought that all spawns would be done by spring.
