Jack unbelievable how dry it was and now so wet... As of now September is looking good. Let's hope they don't suck itdry. They're being rather conservative thus far. I'm excited for small mouth opener as water may be in the low 60's for it and they are quite palletable during those conditions.

Sunk shin deep in the mud when I was trying to he some weeds from the garden................
 

Oh yeah!!! Bear they should've started dumping more water after those storms you and I witnessed two weekends ago. They made an attempt a few days later after pinevilke was near 1000 for a fewdays while only 185 discharge was coming from the dam. They definitely dropped the ball. My concern is bass... Last year was a wash out for bass with very high water durIng spawning season for river bass... Now even higher this year. Bass may take a hit in the next few years to come from this.. The river was low and warm and now flood stage.. Can't be good for the beds that have already been established or being established as we speak in areas that will go dry. On a brighter note , my corn rows are staying fairly dry, unlike my sunflower, carrot and water melon rows. They got waterlogged a week and a half ago just after seeding them And are apparently not germinating. My corn rows have All 6-8" plants...

Strawberries are in locally and are they ever good,I buy them from a local berry farm for $4.75/qt and have made three pies so far for me and friends
Right now there is a flood advisory issued here due to a thunder cell sitting on our area.

Some serious lightning to ground going on here now .. It's real dangerous out there folks. Stay safe

The onslaught continues with more fairly heavy rain yesterday. Luckily we missed the worse of it. seems like a lull for the next few days.

Well between 2 am and 530 am I saw more rain than I've ever seen fall in such a short amount of times...inches!!! Everything is Blowing up majorly... River could blow even harder than 6k a few weeks ago

You working the mid night shift Andy?

Up at 4:30 this a.m. jack. Rained so hard with lightning it woke me up numerous times!

A couple of heavy thunder claps with torrential rain just after 3:30 this afternoon resulting in the loss of power for about 2 1/2 hours.  Second time in three days it has gone out as we lost power for about 4 hours late in the afternoon on Father's Day.  Our power comes off the trunk that runs through Fahnestock State Park and is almost always the first to go off the grid along with being the last to come back on.  I hope this is not indicative of the type of Summer we are to have.   

Supposed to get an inch and a half to two in the next 24 hours.  Will make for a soggy Trombone Shorty concert on the streets tonight! 

Pretty much rained hard all night. Bad wind too

Lowered my pool level Fri. evening, had to draw water off Sat. afternoon and, the water is about to go over the top of the skimmer again today.   I didn't measure the water level after I drained it Fri. but, I'd give an educated guess of 1.5" below the top of the skimmer both times.  Been rain showers on and off all day today and according to the NWS my favorite fishing hole is 6 feet above summer pool!
 
Hope yer able to stay dry and happy fishing.
