And again today, and while it sounds pretty lousy down there, it does sound like more fish are building in the estuary, and sliding up onto town and further at night.  So maybe , like everything else this year (my wife bought peaches at the public market last week, but there was no surplus of apples yet) IT IS JUST LATE!

Seems to be that with the water level that we have fish are having an easy time moving.
Instead of either having to fight heavy current and dropping behind breaks or moving from deep hole to deep hole and stopping for the day they are blowing up into town and beyond every night leaving the lower end with dribs and drabs.
 
Word is those that enjoy the kind of action the Trestle provides have a good number of fish to whip at.
The ballpark has seen fish for weeks.
There were fish in the LFZ last week and I am sure the upper.
Not saying its been a real run as we know one but that small waves have been moving every night as they feel the urge.
 
No big numbers but if you want to get in a mid river choke point you will have fish go by you every day.
Even the rippers don't get big numbers under these conditions and a real fisherman fishing will have even less since there is no stacking and none of the aggressive holding position mentality in the fish.
At least they are not so shell shocked so they retain their curiousity if you put something interesting (read not sponge or 2/0 octopus hooks) past them in a natural drift.
 
Good luck all.

Glad to hear its starting-what a difference several days can make- silly fishes

2B sounds like you nailed it! From what is happening there should be fish waiting for me in my "secret" spot next week.

Going back next week no matter what then making a quick turn around and a few days later up for several more. 
Not too overly excited after  reading reports on a variety of forums from guys who were there-seems if you happen to hit the right spot at the right time ya MIGHT see or catch one. Some who seem to know whats up are still going OO for a few days at a time. Not very encouraging for most folks yet although it seems to have picked up a bit IMHO.

Seems fish may even be holding in the blackhole through the day and moving late afternoon in to the evening as town has been quite productive in the past week in the evening. Definitely a unique year. More spectators perspective for me rather than hands on. May wet a line this weekend.

River numbers seem to be identical to the lake numbers in the summerto present. Fish are everywhere but NOT IN comsistent NUMBERS. Upper river should be a play ground come mid October. Maybe it will keep the trout down lower for once in a long time...

Headin up tomorrow....We've got a big group so we'll hit the glide...Got plenty of 1/0s to go around

English is not the first language at the trestle....It's fun for laughs, but the risk of a car breakin makes it not worth while.

Make sure you have red estaz on the 1/0 I heard they bite thing any part of their body as long as it's red

Met a guy this past summer here in Ct who said he hasnt been back to the SR since they outlawed the Cricket and 'ruined the fishing'- went on to tell me how he used to make Crickets at home with a mold for himself and his buddies who also don't  go back..
Didn't say what I was thinking--- they  aint comin back anyhow so- why bother.

Whats a cricket? Besides for the obvious answer...

chartist
I catch and release

Don't make it any better ..

Those look primitive. I can see why they were made illegal.
