Status: offline 		Anybody think if we get this rain from the t.s., that it will be enough to bring in any "decent" numbers of fish? I live in SC PA and most rain was west of me tonight, but looks like it might move towards Erie by tomorrow. Seems with the cooling waters and fish prospecting the mouths maybe it will bring some in. ( But I somehow doubt many will report it and tell the good news to the rest of us!) Oh, well...I can't get up there yet anyhow...guess I'm just dreamin. Let the locals have a few before we come cruising north to crash the party! Good news is another storm is brewing in the tropics so maybe we'll get that too in another week or two, and really see something worth driving up for.

Ill try to take a look after work today or tomorrow morning. Ill post what I see here.

After the sun went down I was casting spoons for about 45 minutes but I had to fish from the beach, waders were in the garage still, da.  I didn't figure on catching anything but it was still relaxing. We need a good long rain to get some action started.

The lake temperature is still 74 degrees, and the majority of the fish are still well off shore. One would have a fair to good chance of catching a few fish over the next few days, but don't go EXPECTING big numbers, or easy pickings. And don't be suprised to find empty holes.

The gray and black areas means there is cloud cover so it will not be accurate!

NOTICE: One of the satellites which provides the temperature data for Sea Grant CoastWatch (NOAA-16) sometimes fails to gather accurate data needed to create the surface temperature charts. NOAA is working on a timely resolution to this very important problem. In the interim, we have suspended use of NOAA-16 and are adjusting processing times to other satellite passes.

We're not getting enough rain at this moment.  Oh wait, it's still August.

Just goes to show you that you can't rely on these boards so much. What if a "newbie" saw that photo, packed up, and drove 200 some odd miles? For what?

That what I'm sayin. Some guys wouldn't and don't know any better. That's why they follow these boards so closely. Obviously that picture was posted for just that reason.

Status: offline 		That date of 10/22, and I know right where that pic was taken, I bet. Grassy bank about a hundred yards above the log jams on lower elk. I was right there with the other five hundred people trying harder not to snag one, than to catch one! Rain brought the creek up but by next day it had dropped and probably close to a thousand steelhead got trapped below the shallow gravel bars there and the crowd descended on them. Mostly six - seven lbers, but there were a few MUCH bigger and what appeared to be a big humped back Chinook with them as well. Ahhhhh.....good times!

Not enough rain fell to bring the streams up much, if at all.  You're wasting your time if you're expecting to find more than a FEW here and there (which is normal for this time of year).
