Lukas' tip for Southern Germany

Lukas sent me a picture of a bead head nymph he used on his recent trip with great success. The bright maylar body seems to work well in discolored water. I will definitely tie a few of these nymphs if we do encounter discolored conditions. Thank you Lukas!

The weather in Southern Germany looks pretty bad right now. This is a snapshot from the weather widget as of now in the Munich area.

We're hoping that the weather will improve by next week and stays that way! At this moment I'm not really worried about the weather because it's still two weeks away. If it stays this way the week we leave, then I'll look a bit more worried...


Update on the weather (14 sep 2007):
It looks like the weather is improving after a rainy period. Early this week the raining stopped. The next couple of days will be even sunny and warm. The second half of next week the temperature seems to drop quite a bit.

Only concern now is the amount of water that flows through the river. At this moment the amount is dropping from a whopping 5x the average amount early this week to now about 2x. Hopefully by the beginning of next week it will be just above the average of 25-30 m3/sec.

Beste Jay,

Je weet, na regen komt zonneschijn (of bruin water)

Zonneschijn is volgens de berichten geen probleem. Hopen dat het water flink verder zakt.
