I think some of these problems are cyclical things and the river has been higher than normal for the past 3 years which has to effect some things.
I know a lot of the guides in Venice are bitching about fish numbers but there are also a lot more guides than there used to be.
I've had trouble catching trout in Venice inshore. It may be a high river thing or my fishing skills may be slipping.

The last two years in Venice have been very difficult until about this time of year. WE started pounding them late July last year and the same has happened this year. Don't know what that's from high river or just changes in the ecology down there. It's been a TOUGH two years on trout in Venice.
However I have noticed a change in the trout this year especially. Lots of under 12" lots of 18" and bigger but very few 13-16" trout. It is my theory that something happened to that 2-4 year old fish weather it was the oil spill, the dispersant or something else I believe something happened to a years worth of young trout somewhere along the line. Not science, just opinion of someone fishing the same area for over 30 years.

I think this is 99.99% of the issue. Trout just aren't where people expected them to be, so it's natural to think something is wrong. Hell, just the opposite has happened with yft fishing this year. Boats are hitting double digits like crazy and catching bigger fish than any year since I've been fishing offshore, in the hottest part of the summer when it's "supposed to be dead." Thanks BP, you made a generation of retard tuna that like to be caught hatch.
