I doubt it has been over fished since there is a length limit. It may be that a few years ago there may have been an issue with the weather or something else that may have brought problems on with the spawn and it may now just be showing up. When I fished it this spring, is was slow also and the fish I did catch were around 12"-16" I did not see many little ones in the shallows either. This time of year there should be tons of little ones cruising the shallows and around the willows. I am no biologist, but I would bet things pick up next year. It seems other places are having issues with this also. It may be the high water and cool spring that we had that may be causing the issues. Who knows. If you fish the other end at the dock, I had good luck by the electrical line support tower. Good luck.
