On the topic of last year's spawn, I've noticed something over the past week that has my curiosity up.
I've been catching two sizes of YP in the mini Z trap. One size is ranging 4"-5", and I assume is from 2020 spring spawn. I'm catching another size that are cookie cutter 3".
Is it possible for YP to have a 2nd spawn in the fall?
Greg, I went through something similar at my initial stocking and we proved by otolith the age was indeed such that it was a very "odd" reproductive time, but I believe ewest was right when he said mother nature is trying to fill a void.. I would say the 3" is in large portion, 2020 hatch. Cody might be able to better determine that.
