Stay home and do a jigsaw puzzle with your wife (or husband).

 There's no other way to say it, the fishing has gone from the penthouse to the outhouse in one short week. Yes, by the end of last week the fish in the sulfur zone were getting pretty hard to fool but this week was another level of tough. The only fish that would even look at your fly were the yearlings and most of them refused it.  If the big fish fed at all they did so after 8:30.  The two year old's that have "made the sulfur hatch great again" have clearly had enough and are basically nowhere to be seen.

The other rivers and the rest of the WB are for the dry fly fishermen anyway, still in the summer doldrums. Given both the conditions and the time of year, I was very surprised at the number of fishermen on the river this week. It was not only the sulfur zone but at least on Wednesday evening, the entire lower river was also crammed full of fishermen.  It's strange because when the sulfur fishing was on fire (for six weeks) there were times when it was crowded but there were also times when you could pick from several empty pools.

The outlook - There are still sulfurs hatching but if you are after a big trout, go somewhere else.  If you want to sharpen up your game by trying to get nine inch trout to eat your fly, it's still on.  Just be careful how you handle them it's our future fishing you are putting in jeopardy.  The rest of the river system is just not ready for fall fishing. I've tried several spots and have caught a FEW fish but nothing worth talking about.  Even the cool nights and lower water temps weren't enough to get the fish returning to their nine month homes. Best advice; wait for a good rain (maybe the next hurricane), and much cooler temps, both air and water.
