May be why there are so few trout in St Helena…with three freshwater rivers dumping into the sound.
Of the oysters he has observed so far, Taylor said he’s found many with juvenile oysters attached to the inside of the shells, which means the oysters were able to reproduce at least once before they died.
However, it will still take some time for the population to recover, he said.
“It could have a long-term impact up to two or three years, but it’s hard to project,” Taylor said.
Thanks for the info Topnotch.
The above info was just a copy/paste from the article above.
Was gonna ask if anyone knew how long this would take to recover from. What a bummer.
The folks at Sea Eagle are top notch…really sucks if you have to pull into there dragging a boat at the end of the day:smiley:.

Reds are back up in the Combahee, but it has been since March since they were there. I’ve had no problem on trout in St Helena, actually the last few weekends has been fantastic with live shrimp. When you start getting your bait stolen by crabs you can count on reds being around.
As for oysters, I’ve seen more beds upstream of 21 than I have in my short life.
Crazy thing on the trout is I’ve caught them in places that I was not targeting them and actually never caught them there before.
All three rivers are down again and need some water.
Glad you’re doing well on the trout, Fred. I’ve had no trouble with the reds, and have caught trout, but nothing like last fall. maybe the cold will have them schooled up a bit more and help me find 'em
