We are focasted to recieve a very substantial ammount of rain over the next week. As much as 2-3 inches of rain are expected to fall during the next four days. This rain is falling on snow, and will cause a substantial increase in river flows and turbidity.
Based on past knowledge i think the river will be out of shape starting tomorrow, and will continue to be that way until the early to middle part of next week. Once flow subside fishing should be really good, as high flows pull fish up river. When "fresh" fish start moving into new holding lies they compete with fish that are already occupying those lies. This leads to more aggressive behavior, and consequently better fishing. If fish are jockeying for position with each other they are much more agitated and more likely to strike out at invaders, like flys and lures.
Due to this flush look for the second half on January to fish very well. We could very well see some of the best fishing of the year in the next few weeks.
