'04 Erie Spawn?

[LundNut]

Any indication on how the spawn was this spring?

They won't know till they do there fall survey. It seemed like we had some stroms and wind around the spawn time, but that's what we all thought last year and it turned out great. We did have allot of rain all spring long.
Good Luck and pray for another good hatch!!

We actually don't want another great hatch this year. I talked to one of the biologists, and he said that if we had two biggies in a row, they would eat themselves out of house and home. Makes sence to me. A couple fair hatches followed by another biggie in three years would set us up for the next fifteen years. Patience is a virtue.

Lundnut,

Here's a thread from the Ohio Sea Grant Discussion Board relating to this year's hatch (especially near the end of the thread).

I heard some of this year's hatch has been showing up in the minnow nets.
