Katz, that's a very good question, but I have no idea how big she would have been pre-spawn. I wondered about that myself because she was skinny for her length. Ah well, they are what they are when you catch 'em. It was very exciting when I got my first glance of her right after I hooked up about 20' away. Especially, since she just gently slurped the bug in, and I had no idea what I had hooked until that first glance. Hopefully, she'll fatten up before I catch her again.
By the way, the photos don't really do her justice. To give you a sense of scale, that's a size 2, 3 3/4"-long, deerhair diver in her mouth. 'Course, she wouldn't have looked as good next to that 12+ lb behemoth that Kevin Doran caught on a topwater deer hair bug this past weekend.
