The Willow is producing some very nice gills this year with spawn started. A great article in one of my outdoor mag. was talking about the overall size of the gills shrinking due to keeping the larger gills 8"+ and the smaller ones left to fertilize the eggs. Make sure we are releasing some of the large ones to keep our high quality of fish for the future!!!
