Don't know if anyone has noticed but we are having are own little drought locally.

Many of the low elevation creeks are at near historic lows flows for this time of year - looks like mid-summer flows.

The snow pack in much of the Cascade mountains is less than 50% of normal for this time of year. The water content of many snotel sites for the first of May was at the first of June levels. Barring exceptionally wet and cool weather snow run-off is going to be much earlier and lower than normal.

While we anglers will get a chance to practice our low water methods for the summer it is not going to be good time for young salmon, cutthroat and steelhead. And yes even our lawns.
