A LOT of Water Coming

It seems likely any creek fishing ideas I might have might need to be put on hold for a few days anyway. Streams in my area are certain to be blown out by this afternoon.

I haven’t seen an actual rain volume forecast for this one. I just know it’s supposed to hit hard, all at once, pour for a few hours, and continue raining at a more moderate rate for a few more hours.

It’s not a bad thing. Our streams in the northeastern corner of Georgia are low for March. Heavy rains refresh the systems in the big picture and moderate late summer warming. It just hampers immediate fishing plan. 

It’s also 60 degree outside now, and we might get flurries on the backside of the rain this afternoon. That has nothing to with fishing prospects. It’s just very interesting to me and pretty weird, even for March!

Fishing Weather

In a recent e-mail to a friend and fellow writer, I mentioned that this week's refreshingly fallish weather has made me want to go trout fishing. The most recent front that pushed through, the one that collided with Lee remnants and created flooding rains just west of us, brought a refreshing rain to North Georgia and a nice temperature break that so far hasn't fled.

However, even while I was writing to my friend about the fall-like weather made me want to go fishing, I had to acknowledge that winter, spring and summer conditions have the exactly same effect (but only when it's hot, cold or in-between and only if it's sunny, overcast, partly cloudy, raining or snowing).
