Question about the weather

[NathanY]

How is the weather going to affect the spawn this year? It has been 70 degrees one day and 30 the next. No rain yet, lake is about 8 feet low. This time last year the lake was 15 ft high, and the weather had begun the stabilize. Not the case at all this year. I am getting very worried about it.

Re: Question about the weather

I wouldn't worry about the spawn at all. Nature seems to take care of it most of the time. The fish will drop their eggs when the temp is right.<br /><br />It may tend to bunch up the spawn of several species a bit, but what can you possibly do about it? The big predators are still going to spawn first, and will probably have eggs and fry to eat when they hatch.<br /><br />Now if you are worried about being able to catch fish during or after the spawn, then you are going to have some trouble determining exactly when they are spawning.
