Stripers used to spawn in all the rivers before dams were built. Now with winters being warmer we are seeing spawned fish in many placed thar there were very few due to cold winters and fewer places for them to winter up. the last couple yrs have been prime for winter over fish to survive and then spawn.up here in Maine we used to have loads more spawning species than now befor the dams.In the mid 90,s there were loads of micro stripers around.Some under 6 in. they were reported from Maine to Maryland.Just food for thought.
