Well, sure enough, Chandler has squeaked* us again, hence the big spike in views. And we're certainly grateful for it. More views inevitably leads to greater and greater riches.
But as I was staring at the views spike, a revelation hit me square between the eyes. This graph looks suspiciously like the streamflow chart for my local stream...the local stream that I have not been able to fish because every damn time it approaches fishable levels, we get another gully-washer and my carp flats and smallmouth pools turn into Class 6 whitewater.
For reference purposes, this stream is fishable at Gage Heights well below 4.0, and 12.0 is about 2,000 CFS in a stream that fishes well at about 75.
Though I've found no temporal connection between these spikes, the resemblance of form is uncanny, don't you think?
I think it's pretty clear that Chandler is behind this.
I'd like to fish soon, Tom. Please...

ReplyDeleteNo kidding. I've made so much money off the Underground that I no longer have any more fingers for all the diamond rings, and I wear so many gold chains that if I fell in the river I'd sink from view.
As for the flows, hell, I'd love to fish soon too, but I figure nobody gets to as long as I can't...

ReplyDeleteWell, I guess that's fair enough. And I appreciate that you were man enough to admit your culpability. (Or were you just bragging about your power?)
Either way, Sunday is looking good for me, so if you could dial back the rain forecast for Friday and Saturday, I'd really appreciate it.
Amazing. The good thing about science is that you can't argue with it. Or is that religion? Whatever, you've solidly proven a connection between the flows in your local creek and the contents of a California-based fishing blog. No one can deny that. You should start a Facebutt page.
