A welcome and unexpectedly heavy dump of rain in the mountains today. Both rivers are rising and the wetland behind my house now has a flow coming from it...unexpected given how dry it had become. This spate is likely to be short lived and pretty dirty, but should get the smolts out and move some fish up both rivers.  More rain is forecast for later in the week. Water temperatures are still on the low side, so it remains to be seen how hard and fast the fish will run.
