Sheesh! Sunday it was 81 ... then a cold front came sliding through and it was 1 degree above freezing last night. Hills across from Ashland are again covered with snow.
remember,,,on the lower end,they're cry'n for water,and salmon,of course,it's all being held back by lost creek lake,,it is spring,,,please,let it rain!!!!
Just called the fish line to check numbers (3-18-2004= 12,719 winter steelhead) and the flows been kicked up to 2200 cfs.
That with the normal run off from a good down pour feeding Elk/Trail/Butte, etc., creeks has got to have things snorting bytime it gets to Medford. Think I'll look up the water flows.
Tell me about it. We're feeling it here in Sacramento too. Yesterday fished in my shorts and sandals, 84 degrees. Today fished in my shorts and sandals, froze my a** off! Guess it was premature to put the waders away for the season. But it was worth it.
he SHOULD be fishing,really slowed down midriver,the last two afternoons have been fairly quiet ,even the bait only guys have dissipated,,,`downer' hens are `on the feedbag' but it should be on fire up in his section,it's still `on' but getting spotty,any reports from `the highlands'?
Yesterday:
Shirt sleeves and 80F (26C) , fished the Bow and caught one huge brown and several large rainbows.

So Fred, you are not alone in the weather roller coaster!
