    They bite. Some of the best bites I’ve ever been in on the river have been immediately after the fish have spawned. The trick very often is in finding them. They typically don’t hang around the spawning areas long once they drop eggs.

    For example, here’s an April river report from Pool 4 back when I was guiding. http://www.idofishing.com/forum/showflat.php?Cat=0&Board=reports&Number=322082

    All the fish in this report had just spawned.

    I thought I heard the water temp dropped with the snow melt and the rain… so has the temps re-warmed to spawning temps?

    40 degrees on 4/8, today 36 degrees.

    I’ve tried to tell those dang eyes when they should and shouldn’t spawn, but they don’t listen to me. You have at it for a while.

    Thanks BK…but we remember how it is(was) once the action starts, ain’t no stopping till it’s done…. @#$%^&! momentum?
    I just have to think this spawn may drag out for a while….hope so….
    thanks for the temps update
