Wow, you did really well.

I don't know where you were in Union County - but I know for sure you weren't at Seeley's Pond. Seeley's Pond absolutely SUCKED this year.

In a normal year, everybody there catches some fish and a few people will limit out. I put up with the crowds because we all caught fish.

This year, most people caught NOTHING! NADA! About every third person caught between 1-3 fish. Of the eight people sitting on the 'wall'. We caught five fish by 9:45 when I walked away to look at some other spots. Normally we would have caught twenty to thirty fish.

Where the hell did the trout go? Were there fewer trout? Did they all decide to not eat? Did they all get poached out before opening day?

Fish & Game knows about the poor return because I saw the guy there surveying anglers on their catches.
