Well from the report I got most everyone was using spinning gear ( except L-13 & 2 B ) which makes fishing high water much more manageable , unless you put mono on the fly reel with 4 + PAC man sinkers on.

The weather really didn't look that wet until thurs night and who knows, it changes by the hr now.
After reading L-13 post and thinking about chrome all night at work I really think I need to get a fix, even if its just a skunk

I'm leaving tomorrow night. There's a few spots that I've found that need 2,000 to come alive.  I'm going to tough it out thru Sat. If anything, I'll search  a bit and try to find some new spots. Learning experience for me.  Good luck to all that go.

Well I think today is tues but I'll be into weds by morning..
Gonna pack my gear and see ya there around 10am Thurs after weds midnight shift ..
All I got to lose is a little sleep but nothing a hot chromer wont cure..

Ya I'm a puss.
Sat here for an hour trying to talk myself into a solo day trip.
1200 was doable but tough work with fish spread out.
1500 while still doable is even more limiting.
Bagging it for the day.
 
Maybe a late morning walk into the gorge for the exercise is in the cards.

If I were sitting in the bow watching rods throb I'd be there 
Legs just weren't up for the beating of wading in 1500 + again
 
 
 

HT,
 
We saw quite a few flyflingers, many spey fishers.  As we've been saying, inside seams , a lot of the buckets were places where you'd be high and dry at 335.  As DB's wondering about guys showing up despite weather, if you made your reservations last year or 6 months ago, and you need approval to take the time from work, you go when you planned it regardless of conditions.  Besides, with a little creative map reading, there will be a lot of productive water within 30 miles if you get the rain.

The weather thread.. Perhaps the best topic on the forum.. I can not thank you guys enough for this type of information.. Yes years ago the weather mattered none when I was 16 and had all the time in the world.. Many times fishing was secondary ..Now in the old age of responsibilities the fishing becomes the primary reason I go.. The reports and pictures are fantastic but it's the weather that makes my decisions now, I know enough about fishing, well, ,,,,,
 
Things are so strange.. The creeks around my house are almost drought stage.. we have had rain but the leaves are still pretty green/ yellow and only about 40% down..
I see the big deal is happening over the Great Lake region and without you good folks giving the good info I would blindly , as used to, head up for the adventure of fishing.. But now,Again , its about the fishing for me..
I'm packed and ready to hit the sack hoping for the good words when I awake..
All I ask is for Jack to do the "NO RAIN, NO RAIN dance ..

Well the latest forecast I have seen are calling for not as much rain and only " scattered showers"  throughout the weekend.   They are biased towards the Syracuse area though.  There may be some hope.

Right on tuna... go for it. Watch out for Thursday night in to Friday though. Some forecasts are still saying an inch throughout Thursday.. heck though, you're a seasoned vet....

Yup, I'm interested to see what that warm wind is gonna do over the lake. A trip to Selkirk is a must on Friday afternoon...

The latest from the weather report says over a inch will fall by Friday noon.Looks like they may be bumping it up to 2000?

Dime they are plugging tomorrow,today they are shore fishing.HT brought spinning gear,I think he's probably making the switch by now.

Yup tuna is in town, wet like a duck and without any luck. Getting lunch then spin rod will be out down in town

Really the weather ain't bad right now. We found a spot to fish easily but leaves and debris are rough. Ah well at least I'm getting my line wet

Rich they are bumping it up to 1800 at 7 Pm until midnight Fri.,just a heads up on that.With tonights rain it will certainly be 2000 down river.Be carefull out there everyone!
