Rivers made the turn today

Rivers are on the turn today. Little to no rain the rest of the week and temps have dropped a tad bit. Maybe something will be fishable late this week. Snow melt and Dam controls are the only variables in the equation. Gotta get my fix!

we are all sick, sick individuals.

It doesnt matter to us guys up north, All of our rivers are closing at the end of the month

Well it matters to us cause then you'll be clogging up our honey holes. haha. jk.

What part of SW Wa is Ballard in?

I'm hoping for Thursday. Thinking Friday may be better.

If the color is good and I can row it safely, I'm going Thursday!

Friday is looking like a good day to play hooky, small streams are dropping fast. I worked at 3,000 foot elevation today and it was 36 degrees all day, down from the mid 50`s. May be snow or freezing up there in the morn. That should help things along. Let me know when you got that open seat for me on the other forum. Don`t get to this one as often. Bill

Duc might fish by weekend and the small cricks, im betting on more rain late in the week but itll probably just snow instead...

Who said anything about sw wa? Haha. I was joking around hence the "jk. ;)" I think we're all feeling a little stir crazy. You can only tie so many leaders and jigs before you just plain need to get out on the water.

Oh I see it now...the nooch is what you were talking about. Haha. I'm guilty as charged

"Dogfish" Mud & whole tree's for a month!!!!!

Pretty sad when all it takes is a plunging water level graph to get the nether regions tingling.

SZ is absolutely correct. The rivers are gone till the End of the Season. The 2011 winter steel season is officially wrapped see you guys next year. PM sent.

Yes. Everyone please stay home.

Make it two months. Infact the wash out killed all the B run fish so everyone should just stay home til springer season. Go pick mushrooms or take pics of bald eagles.

Jgrizzle is only partially correct. This is the end as we know it. It's over for good. You can all send every bit of gear and all your rods and reels, drift boats, and sleds to my house. PM me for an address

Drew

Drove by a few OP streams this am. Muddy and whole trees floating down. Looks like it'll be early next week (Tuesday?) before they fish...........



"WOOOHOO ITS DROPPING IN PERFECT FOR THIS WEEKEND...FUKKIN GAME ON!!!!"

Dam Riley,
I was gonna hit it some time soon,like saturday.Good luck,
SZ

Yeah, on a legit note, it's gonna be two weeks.




" FUCKN SWEET!!! "

Already hearing reports of fish from trust worthy sources today

Would not doubt it. A lot of smaller streams come in quicker and there are certain areas on bigger water were fish will hug the shore. Water levels are coming down nice. Should be good for my days off.

Already Have to drifter hooked up and and ready to roll!
