wow!!!

Well I hope there is lots of rain for the next several months so come Sept they can run some water,already looking forward to it.

Jack im with you...at this point bring on the rain. 1995 just about holds every minimum flow record of most days of the year. Would hate to see a below 100 cfs salmon season as most of 95 was.
Last sunday there was plenty of snow in the tug... snow banks were up and over street signs in many areas. Im sure most of that is still there. Its going to be interesting to see how the cookie finally crumbles. Gonna get another bout of 30's for highs and 20's for lows... but after that we may be in for a change. Change can be good... been hearing about some blatant ripping and snagging going on... higher water would put a damper on that

don't confuse a flow gauge on a dam controlled river with water tables oh wise one ..lol
 
keep those rains for later on once things start to dry up, still very much mud season here
 

Two bizzy, did you do a suicide run without telling anyone? Somethimg tells me you just woke up from an all night nender at one of the local urinals....????? Lol ;)

Truck gelled up back in december and havent moved it since... been a month since we plowed as well... sooner than later it'll all be gone... now wheres your fishing report gold dangit!!!!!

Water tables???? Ground barely even froze this year at all... water tables are high... just waiting for a soaker to turn them muddy then green ;)

Im gonna hijack my own thread back

With a 285 starting at midnight tonight... probably gonna brake the minimum recors tomorrow and for days to come by the looks of the reservoir level... id say poor management on the water managements part... can anyone remember 285 in april ever??? Especially after a such a wet late fall leading in to a wet winter...

Persanally I love 285 for fishing.
Stand way back and make a long delicate,weightless, cast do some mending and hang on.
What I hate are the idiots, in huge numbers, that take it as an invitation to wader thru the runs looking for the fish that spooked before they ever knew they were there.
Sounds like there is still plenty of snow on the hill.
Alittle rain and a constent 500 rather than 1500 and it will fill.
The trouble in fall starts if after the normal July drought we don't get some decent Aug rain.
Then the lowered res gets dangerously low.
No reason to worry at this point.
 
Sorry (for me) there is no report DB.
Its my wifes birthday soon so as part of it we parlayed her Easter time off with the weekend and are spending a couple days at the Thousand Islands.
No rod along.
Her party not mine.
When we first married she wanted to see what I was tsalking about so I toured her around the river and creeks.
Hoping to stop in Malinda's on the way home for some materials.
Altmar Hotel not 2 guys.
 
PS new owners there?
First change of decor in decades.
 
If I could I would be rooted where I was during the fall.
I have a feeling in the next day or so there will be some significent numbers of fish moving thru some lower river runs.
Not as many as upriver but straight from the lake.

The res has to fill quite a bit before they raise the water... my concern mostly is the fish getting slaughtered... its probably gonna end up being a high flow may at this point

Yea I hear all of what everyone is saying about the flows..
It will probably be a pretty unsightly scene in the UFZ. While I have some really good secret (lol) spots in the UFZ that folks usually never fish, they can only be fished in higher water.. I'll do a drive by just to look at how funny the parking situation will be now..
As you can see , low water or not, I still fully intend to throw the big stuff at them, ya know so they SEE it coming..
Those pretty sparkle ones (size #4)  in the middle are usually money this time of year.. Lets hope they still work..lol
 
Hope to see some folks in my venture and and able to keep sanity..
Length of stay will all depend on the latter..
Peace & HighJack

I'll bet a dollar folks ignore the NP signs and will get a nice note left on the windsheild..
Charlie said he was going in from the long way but at such low flow that won't make any difference at all.
I'll be hitting Altmar around 6pm tomorrow for a little evening hatch.. If folks cleard out (doubt it) I'd give the UFZ a shot but most likely I'll be mid-river..
Those flies work well for spawnerd & droppies ;)
Remember the study about salmon smolts .. Tis that time ;)

It will be mobbed tomorrow with guides and folks from everyewhere, but it will take pressure off other spots.   Charlie said we was going to do a drive by and see.   I need to rest up tomorrow I cannot take another day  up at 400, especially with the concert tomorrow.  Maybe I can do a Tuesday  am trip on a few hours sleep,  we will see.   It is going to happen soon.  HT I tried the SRS  and even some alvein flies again today with no results.     Next weekend ............

Randy, if you read this , I'm  sorry I called you Professor. I didn't mean it in a disrespectful way, I used it as a complement with  absolutely no  sarcasm attached.  Ht, you may not have meant it that way either, I just want to make sure Randy understood my respect for his knowledge.

I definitely missed something here.  I guess I have to assume someone's nose got out of whack from something someone else said.  Now that's never happened here before!

Nice reports guys... everyone that is...

Tuna always leaves town for a few months here and there... maybe he'll be back someday...

Peace and tuna

 Life aint always bout foolin fishes. Sometimes its bout killin other stuff an lesser forms of a good time too.
