Take Heed

Hey Guys and Gals -

Coming over Chief Joseph Pass ( 7264’ elevation ) in the Bitterroot Mountains yesterday on the way from SE Idaho to Western Montana, there was fresh SNOW on the road and in the forest.

Won’t be all that long - so get some fishing in before it’s time to get out the fleece and gortex !!

John

Klamath falls, elevation 4100. The official temperature this morning was 39F but there was frost on my deck. John in right. Better get with the fishing.

Finally it’s cooling off!
Overnight low here was 60 this morning. (Unofficially, just me looking at the thermometer on the patio.) :wink:

Hey, what happened to that Global warming crap? :rolleyes:
You CAN buy Nobel piece prize! :o

My trout fishing STARTS in October! Bring those temps and the white stuff on!!!

I had a very bad habit every Halloween for many years of fly fishing the Kenai River. It usually meant iced guides and snow squalls. Managed to cure that affliction some years ago… :wink:

Day time temps here for the last couple of days have been 83-85. That’s 20 to 25 degrees cooler than average.

Hi John. it is just starting to feel like spring here, the dafodils are blooming, the days are getting warmer and I am going fishing this Wednesday for 4 days on the Tongariro, HOORAH!
We have had a colder than normal winter, must be all that global warming? :rolleyes:
Hope all is well in Idaho-Montana.
All the best.
Mike.

Archery elk season the temps are dropping at night already…and it’s prime time to flyfish the heat of mid-afternoon:D

Wyoming 11000 ft. End of July … still 10-15 ft snow drifts to navigate. Some ice still on the higher elevation lakes.
High temps in the mid-high 70* during the days. Humidity near 15%
Nite time lows mid 40* ! Darn good thing too! The air conditioning in the place we stayed meant you needed to open the windows!

Kansas City highs near 100*, heat index near 110*, humidity 98%.
Nite lows near 80*. AC is ON!

Bring on the snow and cold!!! At least with the cold you can put more clothes on … but with the heat, there’s only so much you can take off!!!

At least there’s only so much I can take off before the neighbors complain and the dog starts laughing at me.:rolleyes:

Wouldn’t mind a nice long cool fall (maybe til about April), but you can keep the extremes on both ends. Yeah, I know, I definitely live in the wrong place.

Hey John,
Thanks for the warning. Our Wyoming /Jackson reservations start Sept 29 thru Oct 15th. In the past, we’ve had blizzards and balmy 75 deg. weather on consecutive days. That time of year, anything can and will happen weather wise BUT it’s the BEST time to be there. .I have most of the streams/ rivers almost all to myself and the trouts are hungry. Maybe this year we can “hook up” half-way somewhere on the South Fork near Swan Valley (if I can get away from our group for a day).

Mark

have a fun trip. I work in Pinedale quite a bit which is 70 miles from Jackson, but never get time to wander further.

Hey Solowookie,
If’n you see a white Jeep with IL lic plate “FISH WYO” parked at the bridge crossiin the Green in Pinedale, that’d be I ( somewhere up or downstream). No one fishes there but I. Toot your horn ,

Mark

Chief Joseph Pass - the only time I have ever been truly white knuckled behind the wheel. With snow on the road, I’d be dead of a heart attack!

This is a great post on so many levels.

MP3 memo: that’s “Duelling Banjos” for Brad and “The Stripper” for Betty for next Fish-In…

Ed, from the land where it was 88 F at 8 PM last night.

Im with quiriva kid on this one, Bring it on!

It was 98 deg here today with “real feel” of 104…

We leave for SE ID and Western WY on September 3rd…sigh…I’m ready…

So does mine, and ends in September. Or do I start in November and end in October ?? Or is it get going in December and wind it down in November. Or …

John

Oh, Man!! That’s just plain cruel!!:stuck_out_tongue:
