Sounds like a  push starting this morning-

DSR reporting huge number in lower stretch and many fish in the upper....sounds like the "run" is on! Now we need a cool shot of temps.

Sounding like the beginning of the beginning is over and the annual festivities may be starting.
Congrats to those lucky folks fishing low today- you appear to be in for quite a memory.

Heading up early Sun AM till whenever Tuesday.
Someone here gotta fish --lol.

Whew--- after a few calls got a room- already booked with friends mid Oct as well.
Cant wait--

You build a huge store of good Karma.  We'll keep your mother and you in our prayers here.  Fishing is so totally unimportant in comparison to the life you are living now.

Tough times- hope all comes out as best as possible for you and your family.

Charlie I'm saddened to hear and my thoughts are with you and family.
The nice read is of time you took to help ease the transition , someone alone is a terrible thing.
Be well brother.

Charlie,take care buddy and try not to over extend your self with the work.A couple days fishing might be what you need about now.

Cell is hit or miss up there. At my house in Richland it was out in the backyard and good in the front.
Always had issues around Tressel but OK at Altmar bridge.

CHARLIE
NO cell service upriver from at least Tressel.
Got in and went directly to Upper Fly lot to check for you -nothing --then tried all the way down at the lots to tressel-Nothing.
Downriver- all OK

A lot of the Charter Operators are talking about a banner year class of two year olds that will spawn next year and a poor class of three year olds spawning this year.  I want to see the data from the hatchery on age and condition of whatever returns.  I am thinking it is late, a lot of the berries were late, I've never seen black raspberries in August still lingering, I had fireflies at my house in Rochester two weeks ago, they are usually gone in July, it has been in the 80's and the local temperatures have only dropped into temperatures conducive to a king run in the Genesee in the last couple of days, and the pier fishers were still hitting them last week, also late in relation to the "normal" run.  This coming weekend is the "Early" Columbus Day weekend, but I would say it is two weeks until the " usual" peak.  I have not bothered with the circus at the east end, but 2B has been up and said there was quite a slaughter going on in town, so if you stayed up river, a whole lot of the fish you would expect to see took "side roads to the south and east."   I would actually go and try for some of the trout reported to be coming in, but I have been tapped to help out at the clothing center where I volunteer, and there are the meetings next week.  Plus it is still too crowded for me, unless a lot of the guys with reservations from last year are stiffing the lodge owners, I've seen that one happen when there are a lot of fish in close in LI sound and the Atlantic off NYC and NJ, and that's what I'm hearing from friends down there.  So maybe I'll be at the Rochester Meeting on Tuesday, and then go to the Pulaski one Wednesday next week, if it is too crowded on the river, the trout season is still open upstream until the 15th.

OK  -fun stuff again
Couple of Winters back my neighbors aggressive white Rooster ended up in my garage after a deep snowfall.
He used to show up begging treats now and then.
After snow blowing the drive and walks he stayed at my place for a couple of weeks eating bread and bird seed I gave him. Also made up a nice bed of hay in the garage because he pooped all over my wife's car when sleeping on it.
He got in the habit of coming to the kitchen window each AM and sometimes  during the day crowing his brains out looking for me to open the window and throw out food.
Did that every day, also commonly came up on the porch and crowed loudly at the kitchen door a couple of times a day.
He was fun to have around and I enjoyed his antics.
Well the snow melted and one day I saw his tracks going back next door-
Never saw him again for days.
 
Asked the neighbor what happened to the Rooster- said the darned thing came to his bedroom window crowing his brains out every morning waking his wife and himself. He didn't know why.
Stuck a .22 out the window one AM- and -no more Mr Rooster.

It's all fun Trevor, just a matter of perspective

Sailing the concrete oceans and the asphalt seas, has been fun for me. Rolling vs parked has always been an indicator, of the economy.

Fun stuff, big trucks bring it... 10-4?🎃
