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 ..
