We're supposed to get 10 inches of snow today. I hate spring snowstorms. I just hope it melts fast or better yet misses altogether.

This is friggin' ridiculous. When I woke up, no snow yet. 20 minutes later, I couldn't see past the pavement behind my condo. Top speed on the freeway this morning, 30mph. Its a freakin' blizzard out there.

There are two silver linings to this dark cloud, though. One, I never lost power in the ice storms the last few days. Two, they might just let us leave work early today. :)

I really hate changing times. Gets me all out of whack. Supposed to be in the low to mid 80s today, high humidity, and the AC for the downstairs just tanked. Joy.

Treebait, you always sound so down. Hope your day gets better!

My parents are coming home from Florida tomorrow. My dad said he had the AC cranked too, I told him to look foward to 6" of snow on top of and inch of ice. I can't repeat what he said after that.....

"rain", that would be "rain" of course. gosh, I don't know what the heII I'm writing here lately.

"read" instead of "red"
"train instead of "rain"....

I am working too much, I can see that now.

It's raining here too. Trout season opens tomorrow, but I fished on a no closed season, catch and release creek yesterday for a couple of hours. The water is still too cold and the fishing is poor, but that will change next week when it warms up and the mayflies start to hatch in mass.

Today is the opening day of trout season and the weather looks good, sunny and 54. All of the stocked creeks will be crowded, so I'm going to hike into a remote stream for some wild trout action. The water is still too cold for good fishing though.

In terms of fishing one sure way to beat the crowds is to hike into a backcountry stream. Few people will hike to fish and most times you'll have the stream to yourself at least in these parts. Most people like to just jump out of a car a start fishing for the stocked fish, so that's where most people will be, right at easy access points where the fish commission stocked all the trout.

Yes, you don't have to go very far to outdistance most folks. Around here, it seems to depend on how far they can carry the beer cooler.

The fishing was weak yesterday because the water was so cold. They just weren't moving and not many bugs were hatching. I saw a few stoneflies hit the surface film once in a while but no fish were taking them. I did manage to catch 2 brook trout on dry flies, but they were small. Next week should be much better when it warms up.
