Lower American Winter Run

[Troutsource]

Any thoughts on whether this storm will pull up any winter run fish? Or is a pulse flow needed as well?

I've always wondered how long the swim takes. E.g., if they decided Sunday to move on up, how long would it take them to get here?

Thanks.

Andy said that this weather should bring up some fresh fish. Since theres the possibiliy of Winter fish Im transitioning to my winter gear finally

If they bump up the flows that should bring in some fresh fish.

This is California, we dont do that around here

Winter fish are already in there! Only a couple days from the bay.

They will if we get enough rain and snow.

Sounds encouraging. Thinking of fishing next Thursday morning. Forecast looks a bit rough -- 36 degrees, rainy, sustained winds 17 MPH, gusts to 40 MPH, wind chill of 25 degrees.

I fished Sunday in the rain with wind gusts, it was beautiful! Had the river to myself with no one around.

Awesome. I was tempted but pussed out and fished Saturday instead on another river.
