30 Days

[cool][#0000ff]No worries about the tubester, Ron san. My mama din't raise no fools. I also plan my trips around more hospitable conditions. I have been knowed to launch under less than ideal weather and temp conditions, but I am generally properly attired and in no risk of becoming a tube-sicle.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I have been following the neverending weather siege in your area. Bummer. All the flood water and muddy inflows really shut down the fishing. Been there, done that. It would have been the same if I had stayed in Arizona. They have gotten a bunch of flooding and mudding there this winter too. All the rivers are overflowing and the lakes are chocolate. They needed the water. Now they need an ark.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Here in Salt Lake, we do it right. Tons of snow in the mountains, for the skiers, but hardly any snow in the lower elevations. I have not had to run my snow blower even once this winter, while they have almost 200 percent of normal snowpack in the mountains. Hopefully the spring runoff will replenish our drought lowered reservoirs without causing any flood damage.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Our lower elevation reservoirs are rising nicely and are already free of ice. I am ready to begin my tubing season either this weekend or next. The walleye and white bass are hitting in Utah Lake, and the different species in the other lakes should be willing too. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]All I gotta do is watch out for one of those sudden spring freezes so that I don't get iced in. That can just ruin your whole day.[/#0000ff]
