Anybody look at the 5 day (or for that matter 10 day) forecast ???? Looks like maybe a little rain Friday but thats it. Hope as usual the weather guys - error - weather persons - have it wrong (didn't see a weather person in the "what do you do" thread).
8 more days of work and I get to fish - anybody know a rain dance ???

Jennie gots it right, Sunshine... GAG. :sick: :wink:
Ahhh, This must be the proof of a true Northwesterner, sun in the winter for weeks kills us!
I was actualy looking at the weather map this morning trying to find a place to go on a road trip to find rain and clouds. Southern California... NOT, Montreal...too long of a drive, OH...Vancouver BC!...only partly cloudy, RATS.
I just keep hoping the the "meteorologists" are wrong like they are at other times when they say " RAIN ENDING THIS EVENING, SUNNY AND PLEASENT TOMORROW".

Weather guy says the pattern is like one that we had 16 years ago, which is one of the most dry winters on record....I hope that isn't the case :mad:

I walked down in the near dark to the river this morning. Went through some brambly high bushes... All of the sudden, a shower of water!
I nearly died! It's cloudy! Is it raining?
No! It's just dew on the branches.
I shook them again, just so I could feel water drops all over me. :depressed:
The news about the dryest winter on record is really depressing. Please don't post that kind of material here on ifish. I find it highly offensive.

Hey jen, run around and shake the bushes all day and see what you can do for the river level, it just might work! :smile:

We've had more rain so far this fall than we did back in 1976 (or was it '77?). One year there was no appreciable rain until february (on the central coast, at least). Rivers flowed at summertime levels all winter. No water in the creeks, no moisture in the soil, dry, dry, dry. :depressed:
But it wasn't the end of the world. Salmon & steelhead still found places to spawn and the runs persisted. :cheers:

Hey You guys,
stop whining abot the weather!! Here it has been raining every darned day (and night!) for as long as my short term memory lasts, and it's dark, gloomy, cold, windy, misty, all the works that make people seek either by influenza or deep depressions. I went fishing last wednesday, because the forecast said "chance of sun", but after driving a full hour to the coast, it was still dark, misty and gloomy, so I fished halfhearted for two hours, picked some blueshells and drove back.... depressed. You can always fish the estuaries or try for some late summer steelhead in the upper river gorges (can be awesome!!!) or use the good weather for sturgeon or walleye fishing. You got all them options, but only think about "the hogs" and how great it would be if it rained!!! So cheer up or lets schwap homes for a while, cause I sure know that I would enjoy "a week in the sun"!!

Great Dane - Ya big tease! Drizzle...........oh yeahhhhh.....a nice steady drizzle would be so fine. Or a constant warm front rain.......uuuummmmm! Don't know if I could stand it. :grin: :wink:
Come on over. With the temps we have been having you would probably be basking on the beach! Yuk, sunshine. :cool: graemlins/berry.gif

On the news last night the weather guy said that this is the 5th dryest November.
He also said that the other 4 dry Novembers were fallowed by wet Decembers.
I hope so, although there are fish to be found if we work for them.
I can hear it now though, we'll get high muddy water and everyone will be whining about too much rain :hoboy:

Hey Great Dane
Any chance you could snag a few of those clouds and send them our way - That would be one form of snagging we could live with.
Jen - how you doin shaking all those bushes - expect to see the river up 0.5" this evening!!!!
:smile:
Well it could be worse ya know! You could be a skier too..... :shocked:
