Dmanmastertracker · Sep 14, 2006

Pouring here in Washington, with more rain on the way. Anyone else seen relief yet? I may hunt this year yet...

tylercreek2 · Sep 14, 2006

kewl, i need to look and see if it got down to around mt shasta

JACKELOPE · Sep 14, 2006

DMAN-i'm afraid the silvers will blow up the rivers so fast we won't even get a crack at em in the sound with this rain.
but we need it more than ever
at 5:30am today, weatherman said we had gotten .25" inch of rain in the last 6 hours, which was twice as much as the entire summer

Dmanmastertracker · Sep 14, 2006

We we're just talking about that here! It has happened before, hope not this year. I've been planning a hooknose trip for a while, last one before I hang the rods up for the .300 mag..

JACKELOPE · Sep 14, 2006

i guess sekiu is hot right now, so we should be a week away or so?
there are some playing in the tidewater on the stilly and snohomish rivers, but nothin consisten yet.
the fish that are there have a bad ccase of lockjaw and most of them are resident fish. the ocean fish are usually more aggressive
good luck if you make it out

Need to send some over to Eastern Washington, had a few drops in yakima this morning.

fletch · Sep 14, 2006

Raining in western wa maybe, its quite sunny here in Eastern Wa with patchy clouds...send some our way!

Have2Hunt · Sep 14, 2006

Still not a drop here in Grays Harbor, I feel robbed.

Dmanmastertracker · Sep 14, 2006

That sounds about right at a week -maybe even less for N. Sound, I've been seeing the resident's rolling in the Duwamish this week too -Little guys. Hang in there E. Wa. forecast says chance of showers all week E. slope Cascades...

ridgerunner · Sep 14, 2006

High hunt guys are going to be WET, should be interesting to see how it affects the hunts.

dutch · Sep 14, 2006

I was reading yesterday that El Nino patterns are forming and I've heard from numerous sources this year is supposed to be colder and WETTER! I hope so it has been way too long!!!

Busching · Sep 14, 2006

Its raining here in Ellensburg right now, so far just a light drizzle, but the weather man said that we are supposed to get more later day and into tonight!... Man we would really use it.

KNOPHISH · Sep 14, 2006

D-man, Some of em in the Duwamish are really nice sized. The indians are waxing em in their nets & I've seen some 10 lbers.

Dmanmastertracker · Sep 14, 2006

10lbs is decent, two years ago in late Sept. we got a 15.5, 16.5 and a 23lb coho. I did see the slew of nets. There are still some kings mixing in though, I heard reports of some 50lbers. Seems like the native fish are a little bigger.

Ridgerunner, why aren't you up hunting right now??

Bob D. · Sep 14, 2006

Hmm...sure haven't seen even 1 drop of rain around here (Olympia.) Where is all this rain?

JACKELOPE · Sep 14, 2006

definitely rained all night and most of the morning in duvall/kirkland area, but not for a couple hours now.

Dmanmastertracker · Sep 14, 2006

.62 inches today officially in Sammamish -so far, my area got a little more yesterday, around an inch the last two days.

fletch · Sep 14, 2006

Bob D. · Sep 14, 2006

Weird...still nothing but sun here, some clouds but mostly sun at the moment. I'll be driving to Cle Elum tonight and to Spokane tomorrow morning so maybe I will get to see some of the wet stuff.

Outwest · Sep 14, 2006

7:00 p.m. in Forks just a couple showers so far.
I think this is coming out of the North which is a little unusual.
