[QUOTE="Lycanthrope, post: 480309, member: 562"] theres really not much benefit to not fishing during the spawn because success of year classes has a lot less to do with the number of spawning fish than it does the habitat and holding capacity of the lake post spawn. Doesnt matter if 1 billion or 100 million eggs are laid if the lake will only support 10 million fry... The limiting factor really isnt in the number of eggs being put down, unless the fish population in a body of water is near collapse, then It might matter, but because GF actively monitors and stocks, thats not really a big risk. Many lakes dont support much natural reproduction anyway because of water quality and sediment issues I think. [/QUOTE]
