No kidding!!  Especially with 60+mm rain forcasted for next week!!

Unless temp stays low and most rain comes down as snow on the mountains.  Otherwise Vedder would be finished in 2~3 weeks.

Sorry for my newbie ignorance, but why would the season be over because of the rain?

water levels rise with the rain and fish can get up the river quicker. lower water levels trap the fish, so to speak.

well is a catch 22. rain will also bring more fish into the river system. so a little rain would be good. sustained rain would be bad

Alot of rain is whats needed to raise the flow and allow the fish to move upriver to spawn and wash away all the carcasses out.

hello, first time posting...

In advance of our impending deluge next week, are there any advantages/disadvantages (beyond getting soaked) to fishing during heavy rainfall? or is it best to wait until the rain stops? your thoughts?

cheers
