It's been a week since my last post and it isn't good news...
To date at Mill Pond we've taken 142 10 minute counts. Of those, 92 counts were 0 [63%], 45 counts had 1-10 fish and just 5 counts had more than 10 fish for a total of 287 fish counted through Day # 18 of the run.
Counts in prior years through Day # 18 were:
2009 ~ 1,278
2008 ~ 4,575
2007 ~ 1,596
2006 ~ 464
While there was some concern about the velocity of the water in the pipe under Route 28, several views of the lagoon south of that pipe don't show any fish congregating - that is, the heavy rain we had doesn't appear to be an obstacle.
Note to our counters: As I said in my email to you, please don't be discouraged by all these zeros. Having an accurate count, even if it's disappointing, is the important thing. Thanks!
