From across the room, the sound comes though the door, along the face of the window and down from the ceiling. Rain sings along the street out front. The calla lilies out front fill with the water beading up along their silky white bloom. Across the hills, tendrils of fog waft upward from the forest [...]

Wind (a fishing report – kind of)
Posted in Weather, tagged dry fly, spring, Weather on March 29, 2009 | 1 Comment »
The oak woodlands are bright green with the beginnings of wildflower carpets across the sunlit hillsides. Along the river, the purple lupine and golden poppies celebrate the new sun. This could be the quintessential spring scene except for one thing: the wind. I saw the warnings – gusts up to 40 mph – on the [...]
Spring bike rides

The best way to see Spring here in town is on a bike. The last few days of March still might bite with a hint of winter, but the sun shines higher now and a familiar time is once again at hand. These early days are as much about the hope of Spring [...]
Elbow weather

Ok, we need the rain and the snow, and my elbow needs a break. But now I’m certain that if I could just get back out on the river I could correct my cast with more bottom hand and my elbow problem would disappear. The weather forecast suggests differently (from this evening’s forecast discussion):
A COLD [...]
Winter

Snow has been falling to near sea level for the last two days with record cold forecast for the next few days. I dropped my camera while trying to take a picture of some pumpkin rolls I baked for a potluck. The water temperatures in the river are hovering around five degrees C. The rain [...]
River notes – November comes in on a storm
Posted in Weather, fall, tagged fall, storms, Weather on November 2, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
A certain tension, maybe, seems to develop as Fall progresses. Teased on with a few light rains, the hills start to play the role with colorful trees and a few choice mushrooms showing. But down below, the river still speaks summer with low, clear water. I think that might have changed this weekend. Maybe:

Winter Cometh Soon and a Pause
Posted in Weather, fall, tagged fall, storms, Weather on October 28, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
The latest weather forecast paints a lengthy period of rain starting later this week suggesting rising rivers and a big step towards winter. Granted, winter is still a ways off by the calendar. We are likely on the cusp of the more classic fall – damp ground, the river valleys shrouded with smoke from woodstoves, [...]
Welcome October Rain
Posted in Steelhead Sanity, Weather, fall, tagged fall, Steelhead Sanity, Weather on October 2, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
This afternoon’s Eureka forecast discussion settles the matter:
“RAIN FROM A SECOND…MUCH STRONGER SYSTEM WILL MOVE
THROUGH FROM FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT. THIS SYSTEM IS MUCH
MORE POTENT WITH ITS MOISTURE AND UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT. MUCH OF
NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA WILL RECEIVE ONE TO TWO INCHES OF RAIN…”
“…RAINFALL WILL INCREASE IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY LATE FRIDAY
AFTERNOON [...]
Speculations on the Movements of Steelhead

My last two outings have produced less than memorable numbers of fish – unlike my first few trips of the season. Last night I walked the trail into a couple of decent runs. The place has never been quantity water for me, although it definitely has the potential. Instead, I’ve taken some of my best [...]
