My brother Kenneth had his worst trip of the season yesterday. It was a 5 hour evening trip. The water temperature had dropped down to 57 degrees at the north end. He did find some warmer water at another one of favorite spots, but the dirty water had cleared out, and so did the fish! He said there was a huge mayfly hatch happening yesterday too. All in all, a terrible 5 hours with only 1 keeper. The way the bite has dropped, it makes me wonder if we have had a comeback in alewife numbers. This is very similar to what you used to see 10-12 years ago when the alewife numbers were very high. But it could also just be the weather and colder water temps. too. Time will tell...
