Jim, After a bad year, I am finally back on my feet again and really planned on making up for not fishing last year. I got out with Allan Fish and a few friends from Indiana and a friend from Texas during Sowbug week but we have had rain, wind and some freezing temps since they left. So much for my catching up for time on the water. The good side was that I did catch my first Smalllmouth of the season Arkansas Tony

MON APR 13 2009 ... MUCH COLDER TEMPERATURES ALONG WITH GUSTY WINDS AND SNOW SHOWERS TO RETURN TONIGHT AND TUESDAY... A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA LATE TONIGHT AND TUESDAY. AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM... STRONG AND GUSTY WINDS WILL DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING AND CONTINUE THROUGH TUESDAY EVENING. GUSTS IN THE LOWER VALLEYS WILL LIKELY REACH 40 TO 45 MPH... WITH HIGHER GUSTS IN WIND PRONE AREAS AND SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 50. SIERRA RIDGE GUSTS UP TO 80 MPH ARE EXPECTED TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY. THE STRONGEST WINDS SHOULD OCCUR FOR A FEW HOURS PRIOR TO THE FRONTAL PASSAGE. BLOWING DUST AND SAND WILL LIKELY REDUCE VISIBILITIES AT TIMES TO LESS THAN ONE MILE OVER THE DESERTS OF WESTERN NEVADA. THE CHANCE FOR RAIN AND SNOW WILL INCREASE ALONG AND BEHIND THE FRONT AS IT MOVES FROM NORTH TO SOUTH DURING THE DAY TUESDAY. SNOW LEVELS BEHIND THE FRONT ARE EXPECTED TO FALL TO ALL VALLEY FLOORS... WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR SPOTTY ACCUMULATIONS OF UP TO AN INCH SNOW IN WESTERN NEVADA AND PORTIONS OF THE SIERRA. CURRENT TIMING WOULD BRING A BAND OF SNOW THROUGH THE AREA DURING THE DAY TUESDAY... MEANING THE SNOW WILL LIKELY HAVE A DIFFICULT TIME ACCUMULATING ON AREA ROADWAYS BELOW 5500 FEET. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL DROP AS MUCH AS 25 TO 30 DEGREES BEHIND THE FRONT AND LEAD TO A HARD FREEZE TUESDAY NIGHT. And to top it off, last Monday, just as we began getting our stuff out of the truck to do a bit of fishing, my little puppy jumped up on me and knocked me down (he is a bit over 80 lbs now) and I reinjured my left sholder (the one the VA was going to operate on but decided that I had some other health issues that needed taken care of first). I am a one armed gimp again and I was in the middle of tying some streamers for a steelhead swap. I have an appt this PM at the VA for a shot of juice that will(hopefully) give me some mobility. May your GOD be your fishing partner.
