It wasn't pretty today. Rain/snow showers with gusty winds and rising water. Water temps that have plunged below Hendrickson hatching levels and more of the same to come tomorrow.
Since '91 I have gone "O" for April exactly once. This year seems a sure bet for number two.
It's "One Bug" weekend (I think) and you couldn't pay me enough to be out on the water in a drift boat in this weather. Hats off (ear muffs too) to the fishermen and guides. It's for a good cause but casting streamers into a 20mph wind in a sleet storm is not for me.
The forecast for the coming week isn't much better with rain and cold temps predicted for almost every day. But, sometimes the water keeps dropping even though it's raining. If we can just get enough sunshine to raise the water temp into the 50's, we might get that day when the rivers are covered with bugs that can't get off the water.
I'll be there, will you?
