If you take a look at the USGS stream gauges for our area you will notice some very disturbing trends, low water for this time of year. It appears that we are going to have another low water year for the early season and who knows when the rains will come, I'll bet it will be during the Drake season then we will go dry. Our weather is off from the normal, yes we have a good amount of snow left on the mountains and it has melted as it should, little by day then freezing up at night but we do need some liquid to fall and get our streams up to more normal levels. look I love the lower water for this time of year but worry about later in the year. Heck Penns is down and that will not help for the future or what normally happens all the hatches come at once if the water warms to a above normal level, we saw this a couple of years ago and it was great while it lasted if you could get there when the main hatch comes off but miss it by a few days and they're gone for the year.
Let's just hope we get some rain and keep it coming just enough to keep our streams in good shape. Just got some news that the rainbows in Spring Creek are on the redds, watch out for them!
