After the last posts, we decided to ignore common sense and head down the coast. Every river was up, every one off color. We got to where we hoped and those waters were high and while certainly fishable, the sighting would be difficult for tinged water, higher flow, and a forecast of cloud and rain - which keeps fish a little more off the surface but also causes sight fishing difficulties for the glare on the water. So, we changed focus and rather than march up a larger, open river, we again focused smaller, where bankside vegetation cuts glare and allows for sighting. And for an hour, we had a good time catching some nice fish from a mid sized spring creek. And, right on cue, the west coast rains came at the same time as we came into fishless water. We walked another km of the water and watched as it got smaller and hopeless. And that was it for the coast, as we heeded the forecaster's advice. We're back out east, visiting friends and looking to do some wrap up video and a few more days of fishing before heading home in 11 days. Given that the 10 day forecast on the west coast (and central alps) is of rain, heavy rain, showers, heavy rain... each day... could that be that for the beech forests this year?
