Speckled trout exhibit a protracted spawning season, lasting from April to September. Females ready to spawn have even been recorded in March and October.

Only your 1st spawn is related to the full moon in March but after that most females spawn in cycles which studies show that a trout is likely to spawn at sunrise are sunset

Smaller females can spawn up to 7-10times a year while larger females may only spawn 2-3 times a year ...and older and real large females may not spawn at all or only once a year(reason why keeping them don't hurt)
