Run Off 2012
Time to take a look back.
As part of my thread on the Lochsa on the Fishing Reports Forum, I put together a slideshow covering the period 3-25-12 through 6-25-12. Click on the pic ( taken 2-3-12 ) to get started.
The run off peaked in late May. For the first couple weeks after March 25, it was basically nymph fishing. Then the fishies started hitting dries - to start with skwalas for a couple weeks, then overlapping that little stonefly with salmonflies, which caught fishies for well over two months. Golden stone adults and green drakes made their appearance not long before the slideshow ends.
The show documents numerous spots and their residents, with a few graphs thrown in to illustrate flows through run off. The blue line on the graphs marks the daily streamflow, and the line of triangles marks median streamflow for a given date over 84 years of history.
A lot of pix, and the slideshow may be repetitious for some - but the changes in the streamflows and where the fishies would hang at any point made for a challenging, fresh experience day by day along the way.

P.S. Once you access the slideshow, you can scroll through the individual pix one at a time by using the "next" icon at the upper right of the pic frame. They do appear in the reverse order shown in the slideshow.
