Pike Clave

[George G. Miller]

Hi guys, Just thought I'd mention the weather here lately.
I live in Browning, approx. 40 miles away and it has been quite
chilly lately, down to low 40s even some high 30s at night.

The mountains received a dusting of snow the other day.

The weather report shows a warming trend coming in for the first
part of the week, next week but I haven't heard about next weekend.

Come prepared for some cool to cold weather and you should be ok.

Can't wait to meet all and give the Pike a try.

Have fun,

George

George,

This is good news. The turn in the weather and some cooling will bring
the pike in to feed for the winter.

I just checked the website for the water levels,
http://www.usbr.gov/gp/hydromet/sher.htm The water has been going down
about half a foot a day for a month or more, but yesterday it went up
half a foot. The cooler weather probably reduced irrigation demands,
keeping more water in the lake. Today would probably be a great day to
fish, tomorrow too.

I also called the park to see about the Many Glacier campground, and
the possibility of crowding. They said they haven't been filling for
the last couple weeks, but they might get more locals for the holiday
weekend. If anybody makes it there before Noon or so on Saturday when
I expect to get there, check for a ROFF sign on the bulletin board, and
if it's not there, pick a set of three spots together and tell us which
ones they are on the sign you put up.

See you there,
Chas
