Thanks for the info- Have heard that over 50% of Hos were natural in the past few years- even a bit back when they were in better numbers. Combined with the stocking numbers thats a lotta potential fish.
Hope they come back better than the past season or two. Haven't seen them spawning so much upriver in the past cupla years in the low warm conditions. Did see them spawning here and there lower mid river real early in those conditions though.
Could always find them upriver into Nov all colored up and active- not lately.
Heck -a few years back there were FRESH dead Hos in Kiddie in February.
