Rain, rain go away
When will the rain stop? Looks like a lot of fishing will be affected by all this rain. Every stream and creek in my area is overflowing it's banks. Kiski river blown out.

North East corner of Beaver Co flash flood warnings. SIGH. At this point I'll never be able to cover my boat. Won't dry out. Road trip to CA maybe.

Only going to get nasty here. Lots of orange/red heading our way right now and the remnants of TS Bill should really hammer us this weekend.
Start building your arks now....
Couple of my co-workers are running the Rachel Carson trail race this weekend. 35.9 miles. from Harrison Hills Park to North Park, along the Allegheny and parts in between. Should be a messy, muddy, wet race for them.

Hooked the boat trailer early this morning and was headed toward Shenango (even though the Clark launch is closed  ) when off in a field I saw a bunch of animals standing around watching some guy building a boat. I decided it might be to my best interest to reschedule my excursion to another time and returned home! Glad I did cause 'eyes' is right, "lots of orange/red heading our way"! With all this rain and 'TS Bill' coming to my little piece of Penn's Woods this weekend I think it may be to my benefit to load all my 'good stuff' into my boat. Unfortunately, we have but one boat so, I don't know where the better half will stow her stuff! I gotta get.............

Ocracoke is pretty cool.... We enjoyed the ferry ride over an back from the Outer Banks.
If ya enjoy the East Coast and have not Been to Long Beach Island (LBI) it's great for a weekend or extended vacation.
Have a safe trip home.

Woke this morning to glaring light penetrating through the bedroom window. What could this be........ so I dashed from the bed to see what I could see. To my surprise, and a joy to my eyes, what I saw was....... bright and dry! I whipped open the door and stepped to my deck. It was like walking into an oven......... what the heck? It's warm.... it's dry..... it's the sun, I exclaimed..... wiping tears from my eye. (allergies) Overjoyed so much, my mind became deranged, I began thinking........... Could this be results of............... Climate Change? Sorry, with all the rain, I just have toooooo much time on my hands. Good weather to all and, to all tight lines! I gotta get!

That was good for a chuckle! Thanks. Don't look like rain today for me, but overnight and tomorrow again. I'm dealing with it the best I can - getting wet!

Good golly the weather dude is saying I'm going to get whacked with heavy down pours in about 90 minutes.
Guess I shouldn't complain, with the dry weather and sunshine today I was able to get my garden weeded, (if only the veggies would grow as fast as the weeds), the 'taters' covered over and, my grass mowed. (1hr. 45mins.)
Weather dude says rain showers possible all day tomorrow so, it looks like I will be wishing I was not fishing...... in the rain!
Think I just heard thunder........ I gotta get!
Til next time........... good fishin'!

Howdy Walcat................
Sugar does melt...... don't-cha-know?
I got it figured out, how to fish in all this rain I mean! I bought some gear to keep me dry and safe while I'm fishin.
No, no not a rain suit............ I bought a 'wetsuit', a 'full face mask' and, a 'snorkel' too'! I figure the face mask will come in handy during heavy downpours and/or running at night when the bugs are heavy. The snorkel works real well to prevent the mask from fogging and it... uhhh it..... umm it...... heck I forgot the other reason why the salesman said I needed it!
Anyway, we all know fishing in a thunderstorm is dangerous so I figured, farmers use em to protect their barns so, why not install a lighting rod on my boat? Can't wait to see how that works out......... how-'bout-it?
Bet your wishing I was fishing, instead of being on the 'puter', hee hee!
As always, good to hear from ya and, hope all is well.
I gotta get......... storms a comin'!!!!!!!!
PS. You asked for it............. have a good one and tightlines! (if it EVER STOPS raining)

Just like every other year, it will likely be drought conditions starting in July, and last through Sept. Mow the lawn every week for 2-3 months, then forget to raise the deck on the final cut before the drought starts and lawn is brown for a few months.

Is my weather app broke.................? Just checking the weather forecast for the next three days and I see the weather dude is predicting high temperatures to be in the mid to low sixties for the weekend with Sat. to be a washout and Sun. not far behind, in my neck of Penn's Woods. If I might ask.....WTF is up with that? Been feeling under the weather (no pun intended) last couple of days; did ya miss me? Guess I should of washed that snorkel after the salesperson showed me how it is suppose to work! Anyway started feeling gooder ('least the better half says I was better, as she handed me a honey-do  ) so I was hoping to do a little fishing. Not afraid of a little rain, just ain't liking those lower temperatures and coupled with wind makes for some uncomfortable fishing(I've heard) with cold wet junk. I know, I bought a wetsuit that should keep me dry and warm but, I took those back. There ain't no dang zipper in them things sooooooo hows the junk gonna stay dry?  I gotta get! Tight Lines and catch a bunch.

Wouldn't want to ask where it came from, that would be "spot burning" but, do you mind sayin' what variety?  Good luck this weekend.............. send pictures.

HI........... just me, trying out a 'more user friendly' Avatar. My old Avatar, I think, gave people the wrong impression about me.  Thunderstorms with heavy downpours in the forecast for today................ Somebody...... PLEASE....... MAKE IT GO AWAYYYYYYYY!!!  Thank-you for your attention on this matter. I Be Gone............

It has me seriously considering a move to Florida. I'm not really a fan of 6 months of 90+ heat, but you can at least enjoy the mornings and evenings those days before hiding in the AC. The other 6 months is between 70-80 degree highs, nothing much below 50 degrees. Not to mention, fishing that puts even the World's Greatest Fisherie Ever, to shame.

How long ago since 5/7 days of rain in the forecast? Crazy. But hey, at least that water is holding the cover on my boat while bits of stone creep around inside my kidney shredding it like hamburger. This hasn't been my best summer by a long shot. At this rate the only way I'll get to fish Erie is on so much oxycodone that I'd be illegal to drive the boat.
THANKS OBAMA!

WOW............ Heavy rain won't even explain the downpour that just hit my little piece of Penn's Woods coupled with pea to marble sized hail. Mini lakes formed in both my front and back yard in a matter of a minute or two. Water in the pool was a good 1 1/2" below the top of the skimmer and now I got plenty of extra water for backwashing the filter. Dang , I bet the pool water water temp and chemicals just got shot all to heck. Still raining and the wind has subsided with the radar showing the storm traveling ESE. AWWWWW sugar beets...... there goes the lake level at Shenango again.
