Found an inch of snow on the ground this morning (it snowed most of yesterday, but only rarely stuck).

Snow, Siskiyou County

A little snow. A big step towards winter.

We’ll almost certainly see some nice weather (right up until late December), this suggests winter is arriving – and that the fly fishermen will now largely disappear.

In a way, that’s too bad; the BWO hatch can really pick up steam (well, as much as it does on the Upper Sac, which isn’t a lot), and you can still score heavy with a dying October Caddis pattern.

Then again, I’ve never been averse to having the river to myself.

Of course, it also means it’s time to winterize our Palatial Estate, and break out the winter clothing – the subject of an upcoming Underground post.

See you on the river, Tom Chandler.
