Theres no water for them this year...... no snow run-off.....
Doesn't matter here. There's nothing left to swim in the water anyway. 20 years ago, the runs were so thick that you could literally smell them a quarter of a mile away. Now there's zero. Absolutely nothing. Makes me sick just to think about it.
Well we got a little bit of snow here. More up north but still not much. Going to be some runoff in the bigger stuff. Can't see that what we have right now is going to attribute to additional water in already low brooks and rivers.
The blackstone should be overflowing by now we have so little water. It's far from that. Scary.
I gotta believe this will at least have SOME negative impact on the fish. Low spawn counts etc. Be interesting to see.
Have not heard any info from people as far as fish moving yet. Early scouts. Water should be very warm this year..
It's about five degrees above average down here - 45-46 degrees right now.
