Bull Trout Spawning Area's

[Xplorer]

Hey Guys,

 

I was fishing quirk creek yesterday and came across a bunch of small area's on the stream bottom that looked like fish egg's kinda. They varied in size and were a pale orange color. It was tough to tell what I was looking at because the stream has 1/2" of ice on it in the slow sections. The moving water was ice free.

 

Have the bull trout started to spawn already or maybe even done? I rarely fish this late in quirk so I was curious.

 

I have some blurry through the ice pics I will post later.

 

Thanks

Bull trout are finished spawning. Most likely eggs.
