My son and I spent the morning on the musky at spots where have done very well for trout in the past and we got the same as you nada. Afternoon we tried pequest for a few hours and nothing. Most of the people I talked to at both rivers were in the same boat. Was great to be out on the water but we maybe throwing in the towel early on trout this year and focusing on other species.
On a side note, please be careful out there!! At the musky yesterday morning up the river a little ways from me an older gentleman took a really nasty fall, best wishes and speedy recovery to him!!
