Kevin: Cool! I saw your question about fishing the Cascade too late, but I had planned Sat. to do boat work, anyway. I GOT to get that critter done so we can do some proper fishing the rest of the year.

SportJet: Yep, those spikes are when the Baker opens and closes. You can check it at:

The Baker link is immediately up and right from the Skagit at Concrete button.

Pushing close to 19 ft. here today (Baker on), and we got SNOW just in the local hills; this is good, so long as it doesn't warm up again and melt it all off.
