Not exactly a torrential downpour expected, but considering the lack of rain during the prior 2 weeks, if we do in fact get 10mm, I expect this to trigger a small run. IMO.

;)
 
I was looking at it as well...but now the amount of rain has dropped drastically...
 
I bet there was a run, guys from my work got pulled off site in hamilton due to rain today so im guessing there was enough rain that fell for the west tribs. I was going to head to the mouth today but I was way too tired from camping all weekend.
 
Looks like it didn't happen... Not nearly enough rain, it barely made a small blip on the chart...

I would say there was no run at the Credit looking at that chart.

I hope they land on my hooks too......mouth first of course....... :D

Got a major dumping here in Scarb. The storm came from the north, according to CP24 and tracked south. Looks like I'm hiiting the rivers tomorrow.......... ;)

Are we looking at the same chart?

I looked at a few over lake O and they all had a spike.
 
I think he is saying that the ~.1m "spike" found across the area (I checked credit/fourteen mile) isn't really enough to trigger a solid run of fish. It looks like a huge spike on the graph due to the small increments of the Y axis.

I could be wrong though, I am not sure how much of a spike is needed to really get the fish moving.
 
Just change the start date to August 1 and hit redraw to see how insignificant it was.

Which results in this:

You can see the big spike from a few weeks ago that triggered the first run for comparison.
 
I was at the river yesterday before any rain had dropped and was astonished with the numbers of fish flying up river on 4-5 inches of water, they will run if they feel like it. Water or not.

:blink:

Yes, we've all occasionally witnessed this phenomenon. However, the majority of the time, salmon runs are triggered by factors other than "if they feel like it"; The largest of which is water flow.

You can't predict runs based on "if they feel like it". :)

You can predict runs based on flow. That's the point.
