Rain

It was sure nice yesterday to get a good, steady rain and be able to use the windshield wipers. Too bad fishing wasn’t better.

Same here while out with the dog before bedtime. A flash went as far as I can see in the forest from west to east, then south. 5 seconds later (1 mile away) the thunder rolled across the sky for around 10 seconds. Another one a few minutes later. My HF and VHF-UHF antennas are still disconnected because of lightning this morning.

Heavy rain ruined my day yesterday. I hit the road at 6am to go chase the elusive and very stupid musky at Mayfield. The plan was fish for a couple hours and then pick up my mom at the dock and take her trout fishing for a few hours. Get dinner and then pound the water for musky again.
All that happened, but she texted me at 6:30 "Hey, it's a crazy storm out there. Thunder & lightning and just pouring!" Great....
Needless to say, the stable conditions that had some guys catching 5 musky a day during the week were gone. A bunch of new junk in the water and a windy morning meant no musky for me. And only 3 trout.
The evening musky session seemed a bit closer to normal, but still off. I should've taken Friday off!
Glad we are getting some for the rivers though. We need more. And I know @Stonedfish is happy. So there's that.

Things look very promising in my world with a high temp of 68° forecast for Tuesday.
I’m really glad the nasty air got blown out of here by this weather.
Excellent fishing weather on its way!

I think the forecast models and forecasters underestimated precip totals from the front that is currently moving through Oregon. We have received 2.20" since about 10:30 pm last night at our place outside of Lincoln City. It's tapering off now but it's a good dosing for the very dry Oregon Coast.
A couple of websites I watch this time of year to try and determine when the Skagit will clear up some.
I was hoping for some substantial rain to get some fish moving. Last evenings radar looked promising, with more rain predicted south of me. It petered out and I got barely anything. I hope the mountains got some.
It looks like it will dry up again for the most part until next Sunday, based on the extended forecast.

Spoke too soon. A nice front has come through and it’s been raining nicely for the last hour or so. 
Hopefully the afternoon convergence zone sets up with the wind change and it continues.

A few days left to mow the lawn and spread Fall fertilizer. Rainy season is around the corner.
They said it was going to blow today…
3:00 PM it looks like this… flat as a pancake.
