I don't think all this rain really matters much. It's still early and the influx of larger migrant fish is still 3-4 weeks from now.

I remember reading about "acid rain" effecting Chesapeake Bay spawners (snow melt carrying stored acid rain). I dont think there was much snow this past winter, and the influx of fresh, less acidic water may help the spawning success.

But what do I know, just what I read...

I've caught many "eggers" that carry orange eggs (haven't spawned yet ?) in mid May-mid June.
