Pacific Angler Friday Fishing Report: October 21, 2016
« on: October 21, 2016, 10:39:14 AM »

OUTLOOK

The weatherman owes us a beer! He was off the mark last week. There are more than a few of us who changed our fishing plans last weekend based on the forecast of storms. That said when a major, legitimately dangerous, storm doesn’t materialize, we probably shouldn’t be complaining.

We still got enough rain that most rivers did blow out but there were a few spots that stayed fishable and a number of places came back into shape faster than we expected. This proves the old saying you don’t know until you go.

This weekend we are once again facing a wet weather forecast. On paper it is dryer and colder than last week so we’re hoping that things will stay in relatively good shape. Temperatures this time of year can be more important the amount of rain. When it is cold enough it snows in the high country and the risk of blown out rivers is way less.

So our glass half empty outlook is that once again with the rain forecasted we can expect more blown out river conditions. The glass half full outlook is that you should be tying large flies and jigs and watching river levels and weather carefully. We are coming into the prime time salmon season and if things line up right there could be very good fishing

If you’re looking to learn more about fly fishing some of our local rivers don’t miss out on two of Andre’s upcoming fly fishing classes. For those of you dreaming of a warm winter vacation have a read of Jordan’s fishing travel report of his day out on the water in Mexico.
