BM, I've been seeing the same type of activity around here and from the folks I've talked to. I've been catching fish, but not as many and not as quickly as usual.....and the size is just pathetic. 9" fish are normally small, but this years that's been average. My largest so far has been an 11" brookie......I've been catching stocked fish that are measuring 8" and less on occaision. Something definetley smells funky to me too!
