Interesting, imthemedic, but I would point out that article is talking about the Great Lakes, not creeks.

I agree, DJD, it's a personal choice and I don't hold it against anyone for fishing during the spawn. That's why I said "consider". The one thing you can be sure of, if you don't fish during the next few days you won't affect the major spawn. There's 50 other weeks in the year.
