Awesome, gotta love fishing and lounging creekside, esp when you have fresh fish cooked over an open flame! (Apache-Sitgreaves hasn't to this point anyways put any fire restrictions up)

we could be in for some afternoon showers, 40% rain forecast with 77 and 51, respectively.
I hear the Elk hair Caddis and Hare's Ear are the ticket...

For the past two days (Thursday and Friday) We have had rain all afternoon and evening in Payson after they have moved off the rim. We have received .75 inches in the past two days. Really heavy rain yesterday late afternoon and steady all evening today and night.
