No hiding jack :) just took a step back from fish usa. Good to see everyone kicking

This is true, if you can still tie size 18's and 20's to the leader.  Sulphur spinners was my target, and they take the night off when it is raining.  Been tying some big size 4 dries as well, planning to go chase unicorns for a couple of days.
 

With the weather forecast as it was , the Daisy sat idle in the driveway this weekend.
Cold rain & wind some major projects got done , some not expected.
Finally framed the base for a 10x12 tin shed I bought last summit and never put together, well it still ain't but at least it has someplace to go now .
Had a pretty big blaze yesterday in the rain . Chopped bunch of those darn wild thorn bushes too. Unexpectedly, camper got a new floor , boat got a new floor ( a center section I never replaced) and grandsons play room got a new laminate floor.
Geesh, I feel like the floor guy !!!

I haven't really seriously fished in over a month , way In withdraw as I'm dreaming of jiggin lakers on Ontario. Many things seem to take up so much time , never in about 40 years have I missed the spring trout in the ADK's:( :(

Hope this weather is getting some folks on their favorite waters

I got a few small eyes in Oswego Friday night,, but the wind and rain kept me out of my little dingy.

Rg, they abandoned the program in Vt, thankfully. Any remnants of hope for it disappeared with the last of the waters from Irene.
 There's an abundance of fry and crayfish that I've never quite seen before and the bass are getting as selective and shutting off quicker than is usual for June.  Trout are feeding more in windows, too. Mid-days are sucking bad- more August than prime time. I'm hoping the coast will still be fishing well towards the end of the month when I get to go again. I might have to only fish at night, which is a rough go as I get older. One night up equals two days of being groggy and not all there. I was sorting through some galleries of photos and came across lots of steelhead pics. They did fire off some memories, and surprisingly none bad, with the exception of anger over  scenes from the  South Barrel.  It'd be a shame and a  personal regret if the river  fishery collapses.
I don't have that much invested, it'll be far more disheartening for others; and that's not even considering economics.
   Good luck out there.

Just came back from two days on the SR (low, fallfish, no unicorns), and the Central Tug Hill (extremely low, extremely bad deer flies, a few small brookies).  I'm planning to go back for a couple of days this week, but I'll likely fish the reservoir early or late, as it was brutal during the day, and it is probably a good idea to stop fishing the brook trout streams until we get A LOT of rain.

It's so dry we will be in drought conditions next month if Something des not change.

Where are those tropical storms they were forecasting? I'm in Ohio for a couple weeks and will look for some SM Bass while I'm here.

Say some prayers for rain tomorrow, if you get to churh, or while you're chorin' if you don't go.

Yea we need it. supposed o rain Tuesday so pests hope. I have to apply some herbicide but cannot due to no the dry conditions.  Watering garden am and pm is getting old.

Dry as a bone here in SE Penna.,have n't even considered fishing locally.Had to cut my visit to Ohio short as my Boxer dog had a medical emergency,she is doing better now but not entirely out of the woods.
As dry as it is here those poor people in WV and Va. are being swept away in floods,I was watching that on the radar and was wondering how bad they got hit......VERY BAD!!

Rivers here are  getting close to mid-August levels, Uglyfish got 74 on his thermometer in the Battenkill.  Trout is OVER.  We've been doing OK with topwater bass, though. Glad your pal Molly is OK , Jack.   Off to the coast  to chase stripes again for me, tomorrow. 

Beautiful country pafisher, traveled many a mile running I-287 out of Parsippany to I-78 then hooking up with I-81 into our fine state capital.       Are ya close to the Bandit or Cabela's?
 
Allegheny was looking pretty low at Franklin and Oil City yesterday but, there was people enjoying themselves on the water trying to keep cool.

They had a release this weekend. although the res is in good shape, it could get ugly without some rain. Was hot, but the wind helps. We got 500 bales in the lay few days.
 

Good soaking rain so far this am. Looks like the southern Tug is getting it good too. Some nice downpours too off and on. Just what the MD ordered

BTDT,I don't know what that brewery is producing at this time,it changes  hands every year it seems.Now that you mentioned it I have to drive by and take a look.

Yes it is Samuel Adams but I don't know if it is a beer facility,I think they make some kind of "fizzy" brew there,like a ginger beer.
Any way we might get a thunder storm any minute now,sure hope so as we need rain badly.
