    Its hard to tell at this point, creeks are good now, but theres 20 inches of snow on the ground.  Depending on how much rain we get will make the difference.  

    The Lord has blessed us all today... It's just that he has been particularly good to me.

    If the forecasted rain comes as expected, I would expect the tribs to be blown out for the weekend. Even without the rain (it is going to hit 50 here today) there is 20 inches of choclate milk mix waiting to melt into the creek. The odds don't look good, but this is Erie, Anything could happen. Good luck!

    The amount of rain will determine what the creeks will look like.  The weather report seemed to say we were not going to get a ton of rain, so hopefully we will not get a rapid run off.  I would anticipate that the creek levels will go up, but how much who knows. 
     
    One word of warning.  If you are fishing this weekend and it does start to rain hard and for a good length of time keep a careful eye on the water level.  Watch a rock, stump, or some point of reference and if the stream comes up quickly, find a safe way off the water.  These streams are small and can go from a trickle to a raging torrent in a hurry.  It is better to be safe than sorry.

    It is good.
    I hope it today rains today and a few more days next week.
    it will get the ice and snow melted and hopefully warm up the temps.
    Spring is later next week.
