Rain, Rain, Don't go away!

My two year old is always singing, "Rain, Rain, Go Away". Someday, he'll realize how much we need it and he'll sing a different tune. For now, it is impossible to not sing along with him. He is just too cute. Besides, if I try to educate him, his response is something like, "No, no daddy! Rain go away!"

Lucky for the fish, some rain is coming into California. Lets hope for a lot. The last time we were supposed to get soaked, it amounted to no more than a few sprinkles.

If it works out, and when the flows drop, it may be a good time for steelheading. I'll be out next Tuesday. Hopefully the timing will be right!

Weather Report

Here in Northern California, we are expected to get heavy rains starting on Monday. If you believe the forecasts, it will last for almost a week with a few breaks here and there.

This is of course good news for the steelhead. Hopefully it will move a few fish up into the various systems. Watch the water levels, and if you can somehow hit it when levels are falling again, make sure you go. A good source for information is here.
