At Day 39, we are steady and closing in on 8000 fish observations. So far, we are running at double the average count for the previous 7 years, with only 2012 reporting higher figures. See the latest report here. Red numbers in this year's count mean the reports from counters are not yet fully received and logged.
We've just now dropped to double digit daily counts, after 3-1/2 weeks of mostly triple digit daily counts. So, are we close to the end? Look at the 2012 data - 2012 dropped to double digit counts also at Day 39, and yet the run continued for another 2-1/2 weeks, with several hundred additional fish reported over that period. We likely have the bluebacks running now, which are the second wave, after the alewives. If you're on either Middle Pond or Mystic Lake now, you'll likely see some herring that have made the full 2-1/2 mile trip up the river.
We'll continue the count until we have two consecutive days of zero observations.
So take Mom out to the run and enjoy the start of summer!
