The 1st fish at the WW are all holdovers that have dropped out of area saltponds, no??

No. I don't believe that to be true. The first fish have sea lice on them.

We get holdover fish in the Bass River about a month before the first sea-run Stripers arrive(with lice). In fact, a couple years ago I witnessed a 22 pound bass taken through the ice from Folins Pond in February which is the rivers' headwater.
