I am hopeful they can have a decent spawn and fishing improves yet this spring. Based on the size of the 9 to 9.75 inch fish I caught, next year should be a good year providing a normal weather pattern.

The spawn is a short-lived affair, but the wood cover will hold them most of the rest of the year (at least until the Sun shines over top of them ... then it's time to run cranks or jigs, or do more scouting). :twocents

Most all our lake's fish are "late" as far as the spawn is concerned ... due to late season cold weather & high water.Quote:
