Hey Andy, My buddy and I were thinking of heading to the Rush this next weekend as it will be in the 50° range but we don’t know the conditions it will be in. Do you think there is a lot of runoff/will be a lot of runoff then?
Hey Bill
There is still a bunch of snow on the ground throughout all the watersheds in Pierce County yet to run off. The weather looks warmer and sunny each day with temps dropping just below freezing each night until Friday when we will be above freezing all night. That is probably not a good sign unless the majority of snow melts in the next two days. Chances are slim that the Rush will be in fishable shape but stranger things have happened. I would check back later in the week and we will see how the run off has progressed.
Also, check the USGS flows for the Kinni. That will give you a rough/ball park idea of how the Rush is flowing.

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackI was driving through Baldwin on Sunday night and there is a lot of snow in the fields still. I agree that things don’t look good for this weekend.
I was coming from up near the Brule and there is a TON of snow up there – knee deep everywhere. I don’t think things are looking good for the steelhead opener, but who knows?
Looks like you are having fun with TIC – thanks!

Hey Greg
There has been reports from two hard core anglers that have found fishable water the last two days. The fishing was enjoyable the catching was not hot and/or heavy but it was time on the water.
Yes, TIC (Trout in the Classroom)has been fun. I will post some pics in my next report.
As I look at flows right now the roller coaster has begun up the chart again. I suspect we will be in this pattern for a few days yet.
