I will be going to Potter this weekend, and fishing above Costello. I was wondering if anyone can tell me the ammount of snow and the water level of the stream.

I am worried with the rain/warm up, the stream could be blown out by the time i get there Saturday.


Thanks,

Mike
 

As of this weekend the water was a little low in Costello
 
I'm in Dubois. There's 4-6 inches of snow on the ground right now and we're about to get a rainy heat wave (high 50's). That'll bring the water up for about 3-4 days.

Next weekend will be cold, so the water level will be starting to return to normal winter levels again.
 
Any updates?

Am I correct in thinking that this is going to be blown out. I will be fishing about 6 miles or so above this point. But the proportions should still be the same and say it is about 2 or 3 times above normal ( 4 ft higher than normal)

I have never used one of these charts before but i think the evidence is clear. Do you think it can come down by saturday enought to be able to fish.
 
everything is blown out today, I have pine creek in my back and front yard again. dang trout are lined up waiting for the coops to flood so they can steal the chicken pellets....^$#%$...

Tie flies......
 
Brad, i wake up everyday and tie from430 to 630. LOL i only get up to potter 2 times a year. I am bummed but it is what it is. I may just hang out in the camp and relax. Just kills me to be that close to my favorite stream on earth. LOL
 
Look like it'll still be high. Good thing I'm not a weatherman. :)
 
bummer
 
Well it dropped a foot since last evening. I might just get to cast a line. If not in the First Fork maybe in Freeman Run.
 
Were you able to wet a line?
 
Yep. Look at my mink/fly fisherman post. No fish caught and a mink stole a brownie from where i was going to start my fishing. The creek was a bit high but fishable. The water temps were very low and I think is why they shut off. I had to fish though.
