[quote packfish]Fished early- limit of trout up to 15" then 45 minutes on a school of 8 to 9" gills. All gills hadn't spawned yet - seemed a little late but none the less full of eggs.[/quote]
Gills spawn every month during the full moon as soon as the water reaches 60 degrees. Seeing gills with eggs this time of year make complete sense.
That is why gills can and often do overpopulate if a predator is not there to thin them down.
