This is just for you Donny

Well it has been bleak now for awhile. About a week ago the rain hit pretty hard for a day, and the river responded with a rise of over a foot. At the same time the rain melted the snow pack on the banks of the river. With the melting snow, and the cold rain, hitting at the same time, the temperature of the water dropped. Now we have higher than normal water, and river water that is nearly at the freezing point. I don't know if the fish are just sitting out off the mouth of the river waiting, or if it is just going to be a weak run this year. This morning I got up at 4 am and went down to the mouth. I waited for about an hour while the tide was going out, and I saw only 2 fish come in. I then went up to the weir and walked down the river looking for fish from the night before. It was a bust, I came across 4 fish, and got into two of them, but they schooled me and I didn't get them to the bank. The next five days calls for nice weather and warmer temperatures. I am hoping this will be the turn around that we need to bring in the fish. I have been able to get into a few fish in the last couple of days, so here is a couple of pics from the last couple of days. Also there are a couple of shots from the snow we had in a couple of hours last week. 7 inches in about 4 hours.

Keeping Donny happy!!!!

I will try to stay awake and keep the posts coming on a more regular basis.
