Escape from the Weather

Dave and Amelia had invited me up to Hamner Springs for Christmas. With heavy rain forecast for most of the entire West Coast, I decided to take advantage of that and drive my way up the east coast.

The weather was amazing for the drive up, and I got to see some really neat things along the way. It was one of the best drives I have ever done for sure!

We spent Christmas fishing a small tarn up in the alpines. We sight fished along the shore's for brown trout in the 3-7lb range. After lunch the wind had picked up and we decided to hike up a mountain that was right next to the lake. The view was amazing and we got a great view of 5 small lakes and a river that flowed through the valley.

The next 3-4 day forecast is not looking too good once again. There are advisory's to stay off the roads because of the gale force winds, and along the west coast there's projections of 50mm of rain per hour in some places. Along the east coast, most of the rivers have run dry, not leaving a lot of options open in the way of fishing for the next few days at least.

I hope everyone has had a great Christmas, and I miss everyone!

Mac's and PC's aren't compatibable (or I just can't figure it out), and my computer isn't cooperating, but I'll try to add some pics in the next bit!!
