Spotted ribbons Thursday night! March 24. Super cold, blowing, raining sideways, about 32 degrees today and tomorrow.
More ribbons Friday after work, really a good batch of large strands about a dozen locations. 10 days later than last year but in other years we were closer to April 1st.
I had one 11" female perch with bloated belly dead at ice out but no other morts over the winter.
SFS came to feed rapidly on the 2nd day of feeding. Not sure if YP are feeding yet as water a bit green and murky this spring.
Will remove much of the ribbons but hoping to leave a few in the deeper water. Our original stockers if still alive would turn 7 years old this spring so not sure they have another season left or not.
