There's a forest fire in the foothills west of me. From my deck, I can
watch the flames shooting up over the top of the nearest ridge. WE DON"T
GET FOREST FIRES IN THE SPRING! March and April are usually wet months
for us. Forest Fires happen in the heat and the dry of Summer.

It's been in the 70's and I've waded wet the last couple of times out.
It's more like Summer fishing with the low clear water, that's already
warmed to ideal temperatures. Water should be rising and cold. The
fishing is very good with lots of Olives and spooky, rising fish. But
it's going to be a short season..........
