Gang:
Fresh in from Chile, where, last Friday we consummated our property purchase and are now beginning the early construction phases of Patagonia, Chile's to-be newest fly fishing and ecotourism lodge, take a peek on the sidebar at the Rock Creek Discharge Report depicting the beginnings of a spike in this year's Montana runoff. Temperatures in the Missoula area are going to be rising this week on an upward ramp where daily highs will be in the mid 60's early this week and will climb into the high 70's over the next 10 days, producing a dramatic increase to what has so far been an underwhelming water flow runoff year.
Reflective of the early runoff push we had back in April, the snow pack in the Bitterroot mountains today is right at 40% of twenty-year averages and at 58% in the Upper Clark Fork mountains (those right above Missoula, generating the flow through downtown Missoula), so the modest amount of water moving down stream is reflective of that with year-to-date seasonal precipitation pegging right at 100%.
For those of you who have yet to get excited, now is the time to do so, as two weeks from this Wednesday I relocate to Rock Creek with your trusty black lab mascot Ma'am to begin the final preparation for your now very imminent MSO arrivals!!
Best to all in the nearness of it all,
Rock Creek Ron
