Tuna if the rivers too crowded you can help me knock some trees down on Friday :)

Db, If in fact I take that ride (no new truck till Monday) and the river is to crowded I like the sounds of KNOCKING trees down LOL.. I wouldn't count on it though, I'm sure lower river would have plenty space..
 
Someday I will get my priorities straight as you, lol 
Db :knock trees down OR go fishing
Tuna : put up siding, install bathroom, tear out man cave, finish up at least 1 of the 3 boats in my yard on & on OR GO FISHING  ...  LMAO,
Ya'll know what I will be doing somewhere Friday :)
 

A brutally cold opening day to the 2015 Trout Season with the air temperature a brisk 26 degrees. 
I was at my favorite early season spot by 6:15 this morning without another car in sight.  Made my first cast with high hopes before 6:30 but the mornings results was not what I had hoped for.  Took the skunk after working the hole and tail out until 9:00 AM without a bump, roll or follow.  The water temperature was 36 degrees and freezing guides had to be cleared frequently. 
Stopped at a couple of other spots but the results were the same.  I can't say that I feel bad because other people weren't having any success either.  We need a serious change in this present weather pattern to wake up the fishy's so Gerry can have some fun. 
Nice to get out on the water regardless as it signifies the start of a new season.  

Nice to hear you got out gerry!

Tuna, don't make me run down my list of things to do!! Lol!!

I should be able To hook up with you for a minute if you're up

Might be up real soon after hearing they are spawning-yipeeee
 With this late winter looking to find fish well into May.
Crowds stink but there is always a rock someplace with a drop behind it.

The latest weather report leans towards a continuation of gradual thaw. Showers tonight... With a very low frozen reservoir we are still a ways away from "big" water in my opinion. What a hard winter this was folks. Unbelievable. One thing that will happen is the ice pack will soften quite a bit.

Trev pineville has been over 500 for some time so an easy 600+ downtown. that back channel has little water coming through but enough for them to navigate. I would assume anything in there is seeking shelter. Frikkin last resort attempt on their part after not Hooking anything all day. I'm surprised they've been running 350 For so long. Saw pics of the reservoir and its near dry and frozen

Clint sorry to hear about the tough bite
I marked 59 today. And it felt great!!! T shirt from mid at til sunset. Raining steady right now. Juices are flowing everywhere! Will take a little while to it to catch up with the mighty salmon river tail water system though

River is up to 600+ at pineville but well below the 1500 average flow for today. Even 30% lower than the 25th percentile of records taken. No. San. Is going vertical still. Water is flowing everywhere... Spring is here!!!

800+ in pineville...today's mean average in records time is 1700 cfs. North sandy may crest today at 3000... Fish creek gauge still ice bound. Cold water funk is gonna kill the weekend bite for the hundreds of anglers out and about. Hopefully brookfield will be on top if this water once it s at the dam. Beautiful yssterday!!! Worked outside with a t shirt all day and made a lot of progress with yard. Windy and snowing right now. Could see 2-4 inches. Its a matter of days before the river goes up up up!!!

32 degrees F. and the ground is white with a light dusting of wet snow here, in my little piece of Penn's Woods.  Wind is light and variable with signs of changing from the North, to the West.  Weather dude says a high of 42 degrees for me today with some sun this afternoon. That's 20 degrees (+/-) colder than the past two days.  Sort of glad the weather changed a bit as I've been power washing the log adobe in preparation of a fresh oiling.  I'm quite sure the house wasn't near as big, when I did this four years ago.
 
Driveway has finally leveled with the surrounding ground giving indication that, the frost has "left the building".  Neighbor had to halt the installation of new post and wire around a section of pasture because the ground is just too wet.  He was hoping to do some drainage work in the area while the ground was frozen this past winter but, the depth of the snow made it impractical.
 
Good news is, I heard the song of the 'Peep Frogs' coming from the beaver ponds, for the first time, last night.  Yeah......... I did!
 
Happy Easter folks!

I'm in Ohio just waiting for the rivers to drop to fishable levels after yesterday's rain.With the holiday weekend was n't planning any fishing until Monday anyhow and with the wsw wind predicted I'll be out there somewhere...stay tuned for some Steel reports.

That's great your getting to wet a line L-13.. I haven't done squat since undertaking projects last week.
Thanks for the welcome of the newborn, it's grandchild #5 and #6 is on the way in 7 months..
 
So I now have 3 boats(2 are mine), 2 kayaks, a canoe and about a dozen inflatables kicking around the compound.
Friend dropped off his 16' backtroller sea nymph for a complete refab last weekend.. The goal is to get er' done and splashdown  by next weekend . All in between my boats and various projects.. Just need some sunshine and no rain but by the looks of things it's not gonna happen this coming week, ah well we shall weather the storm..
Obviously, cold beverages are needed for all this work, I think last weekend was like 108..




 
And we (I) better hustle because the first striper was reported caught out back yesterday !!!!

 
Go get'em Jack !!!!
 

They'll probably have to drown a couple before they get it down. 

Yes 1700 at Pineville, this should stop the carnage and speed up the spawn. I may go way up in I the week with some SRS's and see what is going on. The reservoir went up six feet in to or three days according to my aunt ho lives up there.

While it has been a very good winter thaw, I'm sick of this dreary cool weather pattern. Looking at 40's and rain everyday through Sunday .
ENOUGH already bring out the SUN !!!
Sorry, little grumpy because this weather is impeding my boat progress
