The fishing should be picking up here as the nights have been cool as well. However, we had several inches of rain earlier in the week and all the rivers are presently unfishable. I did get out during the first downpour, fishing for browns, just as the river was starting to rise and had a 15 lb. carp inhale my #6 Grey Ghost. The smarter thing to do would have been to immedialtely break it off, but I felt compelled to land it. A rod larger than a 5 wt. would have worked better. I'm hoping for the rivers to recede to fishable levels by Sat.
