I feel for the fishermen at the KWB, where will go now ? ;)
-
We've all been hoping for rain for so long now and watch, after it rains for 4 days staight we'll all be crying the blues. Where's the sun, where's the sun, lol. I personally can't wait for the rain, should push the fish throughout the river within a couple days.
Let it be written, Let it be Done !!!

35-45mm.... Good luck.

That's 85-105 mm over 4 Days. Bring your gumboots!

Think more along the life raft , would be better .........

If it rains too hard and the river blows, the fishing will be done in a hurry.

There are already a million people there.

adriaticum I know just saying once the water rises they will migrate over there they always do

Well it's about time the rain was forecasted and personally I can not wait. I dont think the river will blow especially with the ground being so dry and it sucking up the water for probably the first day or 2 then will it run off into the river. It will bring the river up but how much, only time will tell. I just hope that the rise in water does not trigger them all to run for the border, and the border being the broundry just below the hatchry. I think the fishermen planning for Sunday will have the best luck.

YES!! now my boat wont beach its self on the way to the mouth! low tide the water was down to less than a foot in some places. had to paddle my way through some rough spots
-
I'm thinking the inch of moondust I've been hiking over the last 2 months will be bad for water clarity. I don't think the hard dirt under it will suck up much water. I have a bad feeling about the fishing!
-
Just for some clarification: when a river "blows out" does that mean there's too much water for decent fishing, or too much water for the fish to move up, or BOTH?

Both....first couple of days the fish will boot it up to the hatchery, but if it hits flood like conditions, the spawning grounds will take its toll...also wading conditions become treacherous.

i for one will be happy to see the canal become to deep for wading, especially since the springs have been getting pegged off like fish in a barrel....wet sloppy conditions is what keeps the weekend warrior home.

Agreed. I work in the film industry and bad weather is the name of the game. I do a little teaching these days and invariably one student asks "What if it rains?" and they're always surprised when I say "Bring a raincoat."

I take exception to your use of weekend warriors. Some of us fish only weekends because we have M-F jobs and the weekend is the only time we can head out and play - come rain or shine. The only thing that can keep me home on a fishing day is the awareness that the water is too high and/or murky. If the river holds up in the rain, I'll be there and so will scores of others who only get the weekends off to fish.

River will blow 100% I will venture out but everyone should stay home and wait for my update ;)
-
If the river blows, most of the river will be unfishable and visibility will be poor so only snaggers will catch fish.
It is however good for moving fish. Not good for existing redds as they may get washed out.
Also potential for flooding and property damage so instead of fishing a lot of people will be putting up sand bags and dykes to protect their homes.
This is really the extreme.
That's not to say that people can't catch fish if they know how.
My favourite is the slow steady rain, just enough to cloud the surface of the water and cool it down.
-
Assuming the long range weather forecast is accurate, that is...... ???

And it's looking like even more rain will fall than they were previously anticipating...
