I have not updated this thread much as the weather here in merry old new england has been nothing but rain every day for the past 2 week and looks to be at least another week of rain approaching. I have heard that the state has not been stocking any of the rivers around here because with the high water, the fish just simply swim down stream to find calmer waters. My lake fishing has been minimal due to the fact it sucks to sit all day in a canoe while it rains non stop all day. Here is to hoping for some drier weather in the near future.
