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 !!
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.
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…
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.
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).
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 ,
