I haven't checked in for awhile and this is the first post I read. Needless to say I was confused.

Long range forecast looks like you better bring your longjohns next weekend. Lows in the mid-high 20's & highs in the mid-high 40's. Hope it will change! Oh, did I mention snow?

They're only right when you don't want them to be. That's bad news. Still better than work.

 

[The_Sasquatch]

Yup agreed. Worst case scenario-its cold and wet, the fishing's not that great, but we still sit around the cabin, the wood stove, eating, drinking and telling fish stories. Sounds horrible ;-)

 

[BradFromPotter]

Just checked the forecast & it's warming up a bit! You know what they say up here in Potter? If you don't like the weather just wait an hour it will probably change! I remember back in the mid 90's waking up one Saturday morning & seeing 3" of snow!

Streams should be fine as far as water levels go as long as we don't get a ton of rain.

Tomorrow temps are to reach 70! I'm going to try & get out!


The wild goose breast pastrami is in the brine as of Sunday, will go into the smoker next Thursday morning!

 

[The_Sasquatch]

I saw. That Saturday will be close to 50. Not bad!

Like I said...what's the worst that can happen? We get skunked but still have an awesome time? God forbid.

 

[JackM]

Well, the fish and bugs only really "feel" the water temperature. With sunshine, this may not change drastically.

Sounds like my average outing.

 

[The_Sasquatch]

Well, at least the "heavy ice" is now out of the picture for Thursday.

 

[BradFromPotter]

Just got back from being out for a couple of hours on the West Branch of Pine. Probably got too late of a start. Water is cold! 49 deg.! There were Blue Quills & Hendricksons, & spinners of both. No fish rising :-( Fished streamers(Mickey Finns) & caught O ! Hopefully by next week the water will warm up a bit.

 

[wsender]

Some of the warm front rain that is coming tomorrow should help to warm things up.

 

[The_Sasquatch]

The weather keeps improving as we move closer to the date. 50+ degrees on Thursday, Slate should be fishing well.

Really nice pic Brad.

 

[BradFromPotter]

We have been getting snow showers on & off today! So maybe it will be out of it's system by next week!!!

 

[csoult]

Snow here yesterday too.

 

[BradFromPotter]

What's the number on how many will be up by Friday morning?

 

[wsender]

I'll be there by Friday afternoon for sure. Probably 3ish.

 

[Wetfly01]

I'll be there Thursday evening around 8:00pm.

 

[The_Sasquatch]

Brad, Csoult Sal and I will be there Friday AM FOR SURE, and Wetfly's comin' up on Thursday night. Not sure about Skybay's ETA.
