Really just a note for myself but here it goes. I got to spend a couple of hours fishing the day after opening day on our local trout streams and unfortunately confirmed what we already knew. The 6-8" of snow we got only a few days ago, coupled with a warming trend, has blown out most of our area streams. I-Creek was no different and anglers I chatted with confirmed it was even worse than the day before.
The flow and height gages were ~750 cfm and ~7' respectively, so here's a reminder to me. Stay home and tie flies or go to a small spring fed creek somewhere! On the other hand, I got to practice casting heavily weighted systems for a while!
Aloha kakahiaka!
