I wouldn't give up so soon.  Besides, the point of fishing is fishing, not catching.

But you can always toss it my way.  I'll catch it.

I agree.  This fall doesnt come close to some of the past few years.  Then again, I have had some of my best fishing around thanksgiving time.  Hopefully this season can redeem itself.

Also across the street there is another angler parking area, there just a little more walking invoved but you get good access to the moving water under the part of the dam were they let the water through. I don't know much about the Derby Dam though. Not for nothin' the Naugy River is full of broodstock sammies and some nice trout, also I have caught some scrappy smallmouth  all in Beacon Falls. I was upset the other day, I am going to give the salt a few more chances, plus that full moon is coming in a week and a half, I am going to hit the A.M. ebb on Thurs. at the mouth of the Housy.
