So it's rained ~40mm (2" or so) in the last two days, and it's supposed to rain another 40-60mm (2-3") tomorrow. Had a peak at some hydrographs and rivers have doubled their height today.
Question is - do you fish or cut bait (so to speak - obviously no bait to cut...)
The hydrographs I've checked are for both large rivers with massive catchments, and small rivers that flash up as fast as they drop. It's an all out storm where I'm at.
The problem is, I only get to fish the weekends. Likely the rivers will be up 4-6ft from their low winter levels, may be more. I know that the fish are in, that's the problem. So I'll probably do a little driving and walking tomorrow, hoping to find a spot to make a cast or two.
How do you approach blown or nearly blown rivers?
