I think the fish migrate east and west.

Have personal experience with the silt in v-bay... it is scary soft. In ICY i drove my boat on a mud flat and couldn't get out to push (thought it was a bad Idea once I was past my knee and half way out of the boat). At the point I wrapped a crab trap and had to jump in 3ft of water I was 4ft deep. As for the trout, I'm not sure what they do. The salinity stays pretty high until the snow melt but the trout are usually no where to be found. I'm convinced that some never leave but i know that the majority dissapear around the middle of december. Water usually gets really dirty with the fronts, even the reefs shut down. They may all go to the SW pass and wait for the spring
