Almost missed the 3 day limit though 'cause I was on the trot.
Funniest thing is, … when I entered it had been raining here for like, the last 5 years, … This mornig I have a total of 300+ forest fires with a dozen or so OUT OF CONTROL in my timber supply areas.
The fish in will have nice weather, but I got some tired crews and tanker pilots dreaming for cool temps and rain.
I should have been more specific. Thats where my commet was headed. May it now rain on your favorite fishing hole, soooooooooooo, it will not burn in the fire and lose its beauty. But then it will always grow back even better than before. Worst part for the fish is the ash in the water.
Best to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
Something I seldom remember to do.
Good on ya Chris…and also, I hope it rains on your fire parade real soon. It’s gonna be a hot summer here in AZ with wild fires due to the heavy snowfall and rains of the winter which has encouraged big time undergrowth which dry out in the summer and become the next headline.
Again, congrats, Chris
Snow on the roof but with fire still in the hearth
The boreal forest is a fire based system. Like the Yellow (ponderosa) plains in the southern interior of BC, but the cycles run about 150 - 400 years. They do get BIG though.
A medium sized (historically) wild fire here would be from 10000-20000 hectares (40-80000 acres). This year, they were large, not huge.
The firefighters worked to protect hydroelectric installations and a small town of about 15000 habs.
The aquatic habitas aren’t really damaged as there is no real problems in terms of silt etc. There is some leaching of minerals and such into the waters, but nothing nature hasn’t been handling for over 10000 years already
It’s raining cats ‘n dogs and we’re smilin’
Forecast is for execellent weater in the next few days, … clouds, 65’s and light showers.
The river on my home waters should be PERFECT for our first outing this coming friday
The fires were mostly up north of 50 in the Black spruce boreal forest. My waters are down here in the “south”. Had a really small fire, … maybe 4000 acres in the game reserve next upper reaches here, but nothing to worry about.
