Ya this year was brutal brutal brutal for trout and salmon. They were all dying off, perfectly healthy fish swimming in circles and floating belly up right near the fisherman, ministry is actually getting off their behinds and looking into it. The thought was that it is a thiamine or vitamin B definciency because of all the alewife this year. No other signs of illness, gills fine, but idk about you but last winter before it closed I had my worst year ever. Anyway, looks to be picking up though, a lot being caught from what I hear, before we know it theyll be back in the lake and well be waiting, yet again. A guy was fishing from the mouth to the bridge where the season is still open last sunday and caught 14 coho off crankbaits. Brought home 2, came back out, brought home another 2, totally illegal but damn was I wishing I had my canoe right about then.
