Rain Delay

Well, this season has not exactly started out as planned.  First, I got laid up with back issues which forced me to cancel  a 3 day  outing and now a week long trip that was to begin this past Tuesday was cancelled due to a weeks worth of rain events followed by over satiated rivers. Fortunately, a two day trip with my oldest daughter along with some local pond fishing for stocked trout has helped appease my thirst  but has done nothing to  feed  the monster.
And so for now it is day to day. My early morning routine starts with a 5am big mug of coffee only to be immediately followed by cfs river gauge checks  and weather forecasts.  There is one and only one good aspect to the rivers running so high right now and that it should help defend against a 4 day heat wave arriving today through Sunday. Hopefully the high water will allow the fish some recluse.
There is some good news in all this. I am watching one particular river very closely. It's history has shown it to rise and recede rather quickly. If it continues its normal path and drops throughout today I may have a shot  tomorrow.  I've also been asked by a friend to join him Monday on a northerly river that appears unaffected by this past weeks rains. I've also been invited to fly fish for stripers in northern MA.on Sunday.  Time will tell.  Hopefully the next report will be actual fish time and not fill and fluff.  More to follow.
