I have only caught a few this year but something that I noticed which I thought was unusual is that when I cleaned them they had nothing in their stomach. They still had some fat but that was it. Has anyone else noticed this? Usually their bellies are completely full this time of year. I wonder if the amount of water moving through the reservoir is flushing their food source downstream.
I hadn't given it much thought but now that you posted it all of the fish I have fileted in past few weeks haven't had the usual full belly that I'm used to seeing.
