I know our reputation is for torential rains all year round.  That being said, not true of course, but we've had .04" of rain since early July.  Although it's been incredible for those from out of state, the natives are restless.  Extreme fire danger for a month, fish hanging in the bays waiting for the rivers to come up, fishermen wating for the rivers to come up and the charge of the Salmon to their spawning gravel.  So the rain shows up this morning, it's predicted we will get a couple inches over the next couple days, the rivers will come up, the fish will come in, and fishing should be lights out during the week.

CRAP, WOULDN'T YOU KNOW IT, I LEAVE FOR FLORIDA MONDAY MORNING.

Know what you are talking about Dave. Same and dido for everything you said only
we have had .03 of and inch of rain here in Northwest Washington in the last 86 days.
But like you say this should bring them into the rivers. I have caught 11 coho's only sence
Sept. first. I haven't even fished for a week it has been so poor. Got a call and was asked if
I wanted to drive tractor for a while, I said sure. Who cares when there are so few salmon
in the river. It hasn't rained enough yet today to even stop the tractor work. I worked
until 1 pm. Stopped only because I finished what I was doing. Just waiting now to see how
much rain we get. Poor guy having to leave now. Hope it is a fishing trip. Tight lines.

Wow, until today, we have had more rain than you here along the Colorado River, I am sure that you will catch up and pass us soon.

Hope you have a great time in Florida
