Well, now, GnuBee my friend.............. Latest weather that will reach you in 24 hours and 7 minutes...... "Sunday-Jan.4th: "High winds expected, gusts to 65-70mph, 2-3inches of rain expected to come in along with latest winds".(end quote, Nat.Weather Service and US Coast Guard reports).
Consider yourself lucky, that we here at the BEACH (and YOU complain about "snow in the desert"?), are kind and thoughtful enough, to FIRST, send our "used weather" up and over JC's locale, before sending the remnants on to your neck of the globe!
It's becoming more more difficult to roll cast even Steelhead Bombers, more than a few inches, in these ever present 60+ mph winds. A few old timers are resorting to using wrist rockets to get their flies out on the water.
Fortunately, since the rains also have produced mass flooding in many areas, one need only drop a line out the window, to successfully fish our local streams!
