Martin Luther King's birthday

We finally got enough rain to blow out the River. Over five inches fell in the hills above Healdsburg raising the Russian river to just under eight feet for the first time this year. This may be just what the doctor ordered as far as the fish go. The fishermen, many whom have had their way with the fish this year especially in the lower river, will have to wait for the river to clear once again. This will happen up towards Healdsburg by this weekend but for those in the Guerneville area, their days in the sun have passed I am afraid (figuratively and literally). The Russian River Steelhead Season closes to bait fishermen on April 1 and the river will likely not be clear enough down that way before then for anything but bait.
