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)
Older and really large trout means 8lbs up....

Your biggest produces are from 12-16inch trout as they are over 80% of the population

So Mr Drost ... What is the ratio of fish caught to get a 7lb plus trout

????
1000 to 1
1500 to 1
2000 to 1
So 7lb plus trout are. 1 % of the population ????

Keep drinking that politic kool aid ..
