[quote Charina]I don't know enough about the biology of the spawn in Willard. What is the difference between those that seek to move upstream to spawn and those that use existing lake structure? Is it the genetics of different strains? Chance? Will a female in the inlet this year spawn in the lake next year if she is not caught?[/quote]
It ain't genetics. And as much as people will tell you that they return to the same place where they were spawned, the studies prove it doesn't necessarily happen that way. So, there's as good of a chance that they will spawn in the lake, or in the inlet. But when they spawn in the inlet, the eggs don't hatch.
