Will this rain bring steel in?

Lol some people will give u a pretty smart answer to a question like that.
It's mid sept and temps have been very high. Now they're finally comin down and with some precip. Sure a few steel may show up. But it ain't gonna be the muther lode. Go see for yourself and let us know.

water temps way too warm.  gotta drop another 10 - 20 degrees.  

how many you catching in the late morning?  afternoon?  lake's too warm (still like 74 degrees), trib's too warm.  They even staging yet?  Any numbers being caught wading the lake around the mouths?

I was going to make the trip this am for a few hours but the water gauges I checked still looked like a blow out. There's gotta be some fish after the water drops as this was a cooler rain and heavy enough...someone will be happy later today or tomorrow jut not me!

Into the 80*f for highs by Tuesday will increase the water temps and force them out. Happens every year this time of year one day(sometimes even few hours) fishing will be good the next poor. Need shots of rain every 4 days to make the run come in.

We get the hook up right across the board in NY, right above Northeast at holiday in express. 49 a night! Makes the trip very reasonable. Always play the weather unless it's mid winter, then you know they are in.

This is in regards to the rain on sept 12th, weather says .9 of an inch came through so far.... Will this bring the steel up for Sunday sept 13th? Disregard of sept 14th or after

I just had to go find out for myself, so I did yesterday (Sunday) and fished lower Walnut and Elk.   
 
The most heard phrase on the water yesterday, "They have to be somewhere . . ."
 
One guy I talked to late in the evening caught one jack and lost one in the morning.  He said he saw two caught in the morning.  I caught two smolts on lower Walnut - not sure if they were wild ones or stocked ones that were too dumb to leave, and yes, I'm 100% positive they were steelhead smolts.  Other than that, not a bite for me.  I can usually scratch out a couple in the early season like this, but nuttin yesterday.  I did not see one caught or fought from mid-afternoon through sunset.  
 
Water flow wasn't bad, though everything was pretty stained.  Couldn't tell you if fish were there or not.  

it's too early

I did the same - watched some guys fishing walnut with no luck. Went to lower Elk and ended up snapping my noodle rod so was a short trip.
 
But no hits and seen none caught. Couldn't tell if fish were in Walnut or not as RS stated above. Water was stained, but had good flow. Lake was kicking as well from the winds.

I too was at lower nut in the AM and then again in the late afternoon, but the water was roaring pretty good in the morning and went back home. I didn't see any fish, nor anyone hooking up. The water had nice color to it and I'm sure there were a few in there. Heck, I saw a few steel and browns caught a few days prior to labor day weekend. But yes, it is a tad early. Water is still at 70 degrees. Although, it was nice just being out and meeting several nice groups of sportsman. 

Anyone checked eastside streams?

Anyone checked eastside streams?

As soon as the first one is caught over there, you can bet East End Angler will let the world know on their website or FB page that the cricks are loaded with fresh chrome.
