As we soon toggle all further E-18 communications over to Der Blog, the flow is plummeting here along Rock Creek, where, almost overnight, the water is "greening up" to become fishable and becoming safe to float (just this morning, while walking your Mascot Ma'am The Lab up Rock Creek Road, there was a "rubber hatch" of rafts headed upstream to fish the Creek's world famous salmon fly hatch, now in full bloom!).
Today's flow is a much more modest and doable 2,300 cfs with all indications that its continuing decline will quickly take us down to our targeted 1,500 cfs for ideal fishing conditions. To that end, the Bitterroot River's flow has likewise been abating at the rate of 1,000 cfs/day, such that, late last night, I was on the phone with our Double Up Outfitter and he is reconsidering whether or not the Ones will need to bus over to the Missouri (where thunderstorms and high winds are in the Wolf Creek forecast). That "bus-no bus" decision revisitation will occur later this morning but, as to you Tattoos and Threes out there, it is now safe to say that NO BUS will be in your future as you wing and wind your way to Extravaganzaland---great news, indeed!!
As we say around here, "Never a dull moment in Extravaganzaland!"
Best to all from the scene of it all,
Rock Creek Ron
