Just curious how many others around the country and around the world depend on the streamflow websites to help with timing, to hit some of your favorite haunts at 'prime time'.
I know some of you can look out your window or check it out as you cross the bridge on the way home from the store (I used to be able to do that...). But for some of my favorite places to fish in my region, I now have to cross a pass or two, and sometimes dropping everything for a couple of days of of fantastic fishing in the middle of the week on short notice can make a huge difference in the course of a year. Especially since I am not retired yet, and time off is still coming at a premium.
Anyway, any others out there that pay special attention to the streamflow websites like
https://waterdata.usgs.gov/ or others around the world, for timing some of your fishing?
I also know that guides can be invaluable...but I doubt that any guide in the world would have taken me where I was this past week, when the water levels were as perfect as they were....it was like writeups I've read of the South Ram in Alberta, but I was still south of the border.
