Went out to Taylorsville last year for the first time in the spring and it was a zoo. Was it because of COVID?
Very likely Covid related, plus that a few of the Spring spawns in years prior had yielded some 11-15" fish (though not so much in the last couple of years).
Those Slabs popped up several years ago & within a couple of years afterwards the size limit was raised to 10" ... couple of years after that the big fish numbers seemed to dwindle and I haven't seen any reports over the last few years that show the numbers are back. And I certainly haven't experienced catching any in the last couple of years, even finding it hard to consistently catch a handful of keepers. No big gig to catch 9.5"- 9.75" fish, just not done good on anything bigger.
