Agreed- a very nice push IMHO but not what it was a few short seasons ago--although one tackle shop is ( of course) reporting its HOT.
Also, IMHO, town pool, needle and ballpark reports aint 'fishing'  reports.
Better than it was--likely--but not the fishing we are used to having for weeks at  time-like last season one might expect -except for some Steel- it will be over as quickly as it materialized.
Would be nice for a real run to happen but think it too late for that again this year.
Hope the weather folks are right with a mild winter coming-think we need 3 to get back to where we were.
Will be up Sunday for a few days of leaves and fishing-my kind of surf and turf.
A least next year-without the house up there -it will all be surf  lol.

I think they begin egg take when the fish are ready.  Fish that came in a few weeks ago and have been ripening in the hatchery.  Fish that were in the river then are likely gone.  I know the Genesee is filling up (was down there yesterday and even with very turbid water saw lots of fins and tails, and lots of rollers and jumpers) but there are no deads around, and I didn't see any flashes in the tailouts, so they are not dropping eggs yet.   

then again , I'm bored and just starting conversation.
Already looking at every ice fishing site and forums
hope to break the shanty's out and five them a tune up tomorrow and hit some woods on thurs, per Dr's orders
 
Fill us in 2B, I'd like to see how the 3 man has been doing  

The weather woman this morning is using the s word for Saturday, this is upstate NY where if you don't like the weather wait 20 minutes,  unless you are fishing, in which case, it will only get worse!  Hope the Ohio traveler brought more than a speedo and simms, they are talking neoprene weather for the rest of this week!
 
 

oops-conflicting reports

RG  the leaves are starting to fall pretty good with a good gust of wind.
Bring your rake.
Pretty much what everyone on the river is doing anyways.
 
Further report
Typing this instead of getting ready to fish after a massive bout of super colon blow.
Still not confident I am master of my domain so to speak.

Just be  glad it didn't happen while walking in on a trail somewhere.
If it does--WATCH THE WADER STRAPS .

If your having that issue did you already chow down at Altmar Hotel? Food is great but always a little heavy.

Thanks for the report and update.
Glad I brought TP in woods with me 😀
Now just sitting in a tree with a pistol on my side , varmints beware
