The YOY (young of the year) surveys for smallies on the D are out. The short version is that the 2012 spawn was about average for this river when compared to data over the last couple decades. The good news was the bass production was a bit better than last year and pretty good in the upper river but, overall......pretty average.
Of note - if you look at the graphs, it's striking how good the spawn was in the 2005-2008 years with numbers way above average. These years produced good bass classes across much of the Mid Atlantic rivers (the lower Susky being an obvious exception) and these fish are now in the 12-16" size range.
