Wow... Even at a flow of 855 cfs at pineville today it is still a record high for the recording period for that gauge... Meanwhile this is the lowest its been in weeks! I am hoping to wet the line for the last hour this evening

   How are the tribs maybe with the high water they are fishable and maybe be holding fish?

  Starting to get the itch might have to make the trip out.

Today it feels like Salmon time! High 70's,no humidity,and a nice fresh breeze.But instead of fishing I sealed cracks on my driveway.However that time is coming when the drag screams from the mighty KING!
 
BRING IT ON!

I predicted a run of coho today...anyone hear any reports?
 

Well ,
Yesterday was brutal hot. I put A/C in new house yesterday because we were sweating while trying to sleep.
The humidity broke a little today but A/C is still running, on econo.
Had to water what's left of garden yesterday also. Brussels sprouts are looking good, peppers still producing and tomatoes were best crop in years. Lots of sauce canned.
Fall is coming for sure as the sun has set @ 7:15 pm . Hope it's a nice cool down and not a throw down right to bitter cold.
On the fence about this weekend on the Great Lake , weather still iffy. Either way the Daisy Mae will ride the waters some where .

Go figure them out again.
Good luck.
 

HERE COMES THE RAIN......

Somebody on one of the other boards was wanting some rain in hopes of getting the migration started.

Here it comes and it looks to be a lot of it.

Hope there won't be a washout from too much.

Nice steady fairly heavy rain. Feel a bit bad for Charlie and UF on the river, but at least they are getting at them. I will stand in the rain for steel, but not sharks. This takes me out of going to the nephews football game too. He is only a sophomore so not worth getting soaked to watch him play 6 plays at the end of the game.

32 on the nose this morning... thick frost!!!

This is the weather for fall brookies in the 'daks, not the 90 we hit two weeks ago.
 
Transportation problem dealt with, I pick up an '08 Jimmie with 25K miles tomorrow AM, a little bit under my budget. I known it will cost for gas, but I felt like a sardine in the small SUV's I was also looking at, and my wife liked the truck as well.   The "how to purchase a tent" method- bring the wife, buy whatever tent she likes, then she will be happy camping, and you'll get used to anything that gets you camping!

Yep a bit frosty would be a loose term it was heavy last night

It is a 5.4  8, but the mileage came up the same for a 6 or an 8.  It is a basic work truck, has a tonneau on it now, I'll have to find a cap.  My sense is that it was someone like me that bought it, ran it a couple of years, and then passed on, and the wife traded it for what she wanted after it sat in the garage for a while.  I really tried to get my wife to buy what she wanted and let me take her town and country, and I wanted something with better mileage, but I was really cramped in anything that fit my budget, and they just didn't have the room for the amount of gear I take camping and on vacation.  The folks I know who run GMC's in general don't have a lot of problems with them, and this one looks very clean for 6 years old.  Time will tell, but the good lord willing, I've only got a few more months of commuting.

The cheapest 4x4 they had was 24K and had 62 K miles on it.  If I don't get a cap before the snow flies, I'll build a 2x4 frame and put some sand bags in for traction.

No low temps or rain predicted for the next 10 days- does not look good for any kind of increase in the trickle.  Staying on the coast an extra day or 2 for vacation is looking better and better.  The good thing is I'll have miles of estuary to myself and empty beaches.  My prediction is it'll start around the 5th  after a torrential downfall and a plunge in temps. Or maybe not.
