theiceman2 Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 The biggest piss off here is the river was perfect and in the midst of the biggest Stone hatch I had ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxwell Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 and it will continue after dude... we need this rain and cool weather too keep flows up and temps down.. woudl rather have a few days break form teh stones (wich will be egg laying tonight anyway) and not have dead fish in late august due too warm water...... rainy june or july means dope late summer and fall! this is a GREAT thing for all of our rivers! hope we get more nextweek!

BBBrownie Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Interesting. The Highwood was amazing today and yesterday, great vis, water level was great and no one told the fish that it was raining. It was very odd-the sheep is blown, fished Liv and it was a bit dirty but the highwood was prime! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbow Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 was floating mac to jantzen's on monday when the storm hit. although there was a lot of rain it was the intensity of the thunder and lightning that was amazing. it went on for a couple or three hours with lots of lightning that appears to be quite close based on flashes and thunder. can't ever recall a thunderstorm that lasted that long.... pmds were very active later in the day when the storm finally let up.
