Place your bets!

With the warm winter, I am guessing they come 10 days to two weeks earlier this year. My measuring stick for fresh fish in the upper CT River is Cinco de Mayo. The last two dry/warm winters I got fish during my April vacation. That has only happened twice in the last 16 years. According to my logs, get ready! >( ): I think some tackle shops will be doing very well on the Cape before the second week of May.

Based on water temps, I agree it might be early. I'm concerned with the lack of snow pack and hoping for lots of rain.

The last super dry/no snow melt year, at least on the CT River, I was so sure there would not be enough water to get the fish all the way up where I am. That was about five years ago. The googans slammed um from late April till the end of June that year. I actually am kind of excited.

My guess is the lower CT in the last week of March. I'll be ready.

I am guessing early and would not be surprised if many people notice ealy years coinciding with El Nino years. I would also suspect those are poor spawning seasons in the Chessie

There were birds feeding at the Canal yesterday. I would swear they were eating herring.
