Default Where have all the trout gone?

Seems like they all went north for the summer. I fished the D&R Canal every day this past week and for a few hours both weekend days and caught no trout.
I didn't see or hear of anyone else catching any either. I caught fish, a few crappies, small bass, and sunfish but not one trout, not even a hit. Now we all know they put what more than 29,000 trout in there so where did they all go? They last two I caught were Memorial Day. I've yet to see dead trout floating so they must be someplace. I even wrote an email to F&G last year and was told, " They will seek cold water". How? There is as far as I know, no way out of the feeder canal unless they swim all the way up to the main Canal then up to the Raritan River.

Muskies as big as your car in there I'm told. Cormorants are in the Big D nearby, haven't seen any in the canal yet.
