Rain is a good thing

So far not getting what they called for it has stayed to the south.   Rained a little for 5 minutes and now nothing more that a drizzle.  Hope we get more.  The res is doing OK considering.

Hopefully it'll crank up for you up there Clint, if it doesn't I hope they reconsider the whitewater releases until more rain comes. I learned a long time ago if you gamble with mother nature you usually lose. But its good to hear the reservoir is holding up ok.

RG I live 2.5 hrs away from there and was keeping up on the rain via radar so I could see if the garden needed watering. They did get some rain from that system yesterday, it showed up dark green and yellow on the screen right over them a couple of times. Im sure it wasn't a cure all rain but in this game every bit helps. I know here at my house after two days of off and on it totaled 2-3 inches according to the weather guy. But most of it ran off.

It says Syracuse got .15 inches and we are lucky if we got that. Rained for about 2.5 hours , but nothing but a  drizzle with 1/2 hour of very light rain.  It was better than nothing, but for all intense purposes did not help much.

Brought this thread up 'cause they are saying drenching downpours are possible tonight thru Sat.,hope there are some downpours up in Salmon Country.
Also made this post to see if anyone is out there,been very quiet considering it won't be long now

Coho,from the sound of it there may be a bumper crop pf browns following the Salmon in.A couple years ago I had a banner year on Browns way up river,would like to do it again.
I'm shampooing carpet today and watching the sky darken,looks like the storms are coming in earlier than predicted.

Just got back from up a coupla days there. Was sprinklin just a bit when I left bout noon.
 Smallmouth everywhere- all sizes up to bout 2 and a half pounds and all FAT. Dont know how any kinda Summer Fry can get through them.

I guess we should be careful what we wish for. Just saw the new hurricane outlook and its not good for those still cleaning up from Irene. Everything has changed and we are now in the perfect conditions for hurricanes to play in. Right now 4 tropical depressions are heading for the states with more marching off the African coast. We may very well be trading 90 degree temps in for waders real soon! Fish On!

hope the rain comes hot and heavy for you guys up there  might make a day run the end of aug but for sure will be up the middle of sep thur and  fri
heading out today to buy some new 8wt line  starting to get ready  got the itch  will be looking for some true info on the SR    

ssgt12,I live just west of Atown.

RT,did they change the flow or alter the church pool any?

pa  im up in wilkes-barre scranton about 3 hrs from the fish

Thanks for mentioning Meriden-lol -spent the storm time watchin the Soccer game on TV.
 Hey- The Church pool is generally just the same but now has a kinda nice platform all on the West side where the big rocks used to be. Never fished from them myself but it looks like it will be packed with guys  this season.
  The top kinda comes in and will make a bit of a backwater -IMHO -for a bit on the top of the run  There was a hole there before too as I recall.  It looks like the same place if not a bit narrower- kinda hard to tell though in only 185. They put in some rock steps all the way up to the road instead of that suicide dirt hill kinda pathway. Anybody falling on those steep steps is off to the ER for stitches but its much better than before.IMHO.
  Will be interesting to see how it affects that nice run below the pool down to Kiddie but first impressions are very positive.
  Same impression in the Town pool=very nice jobs.

and hopefully its not quite the 1...2  punch of the last set of hurricanes that made their way up the coast last year......rain, like all things is good in moderation ;)

The latest forecasted track is looking very favorable,should be getting rain late next week
