I’ve fished some small ponds the last few days and they’re bedding pretty hard in a few of the ponds. The males were guarding the beds and I watched 2 females in the 7-9lb range do their egg laying sideways swimming in circles dance. It was very cool to watch, no I didn’t interrupt them or try to catch them.
Not sure what the next 2 nights being in the 30’s will do but it was good to watch!
