WEATHER 



THE condition of the water is more im- 

 portant than weather conditions, for salmon 

 have been known to take in all kinds of 

 weather. 



At times the weather does not seem to 

 matter; even an east wind will not interfere 

 with the fishing; at other times when wind 

 and weather seem right the fish refuse to 

 rise. 



Calm settled weather with a light breeze 

 from the southwest, or what the natives 

 call a " good haying day," seems to afford 

 the best sport. 



Fish will not rise when a thunderstorm 

 is brewing but often take readily the mo- 

 ment the storm breaks. 



If it is certain that salmon are in the river, 

 it is wise not to allow any condition of the 

 weather to interfere with one's fishing.
