This horrible unseasonable rain all summer (I'm in Colorado BTW) has really put a damper on my favorite rivers... can't say I remember seeing a year like this since the late '90s. I'm hoping for a warm fall though, so hopefully the year can still be salvaged. Saw something on the weather chann saying they are expecting a warm end of summer to early fall for Colorado and the general central mid-west. Might end up doing some more winter fishing this year as well to make up.

Hi I know what you mean, I am in Slovenia and we seem to get a few days of clear weather just enough for the rivers to start clearing and then the next day a down pour comes along and the rivers are back to mud. Even on the mountain streams the level is so up and down never sure where is good to fish.

Bring on some stable weather.
Kev.

One of the most fundamental features of the way the universe works is the cycle or wave. Some of them we are aware of; the day/night cycle, the annual seasons, and the sunspot cycle for example. Some of them take place over so long a time period that our short human lives and the length of our written records make them less well known and understood by us, such as the great ice ages/interglacial periods. Things just don't work out such that everything goes along as we would prefer them to year after year after year.

Ron,

What do ya' mean? Like the fact that the glaciers in the Alps have been receding since they were first measured in the 1780's?

Yes!

I've read historical records from earlier periods of history when glaciers were growing and people were concerned about the survival of towns that had developed in a glacier's path. Also glacial retreat has unearthed remains of ancient mines where ancient Europeans searched for minerals and metals.

yeah, send some our way. We had a wet spring, but now we need rain.

Be careful not to make this a political BS argument. Warm cycles come and go, dry cycles come and go, Ice Ages, etc.

I would love to most of the rain from here in Vermont to all the dry places, they sure need it more than we do!!!!

What... that would mean that those glaciers only covered those areas in "historical" times... Why that would mean that those same glaciers have "melted" before... Say it 'aint so...
