It tis the weekend before Thanksgiving. This weekend I would be normally excited and ready to go on my Turkey Day Spey adventure. Now, I am excited but looks like New York has the potential to be a no go.
For example, if you use this link and scroll down to webcams you will see the Conneaut harbor area. First you need to use “guest” as your username and password is “guest “also. This will give you a clear visual of what’s going on up at the lake.
Another great weather information site is this for the entire state of Ohio is this gem.
As, far as Pennsylvania goes this is the webcam, I look at to get a feel of things.
Here comes the heartbreaker lol this is the webcams I use for the entire state of New York for the current road conditions. They don’t cover every road, but its enough for anyone to make an informed decision about the road conditions.
Looks like the storm is moving north and hitting between Buffalo and the Niagara Falls Region. I feel my soul shriek in agony because even if they reach 40 degrees for a few days lol the creeks and rivers will most likely be unfishable depending on the rate the snow melts.
I am still going to my basecamp in Conneaut next Tuesday. So, here is the weather forecast per weather. Gov

The things that still concern me is not the additional snow so much as the winds. The winds coupled with the over night lows will create side ice and the strong potential for slush! Lol Now I don’t have to tell a season veteran steelheader that slush is a major pain in the a$$.
The chance also of this having a rain event will trash everything from Buffalo to Toledo!
Back in my younger days I would fish in these slush flows, but I have since changed my ways. The radial ice that grows on your fly line is brutal.
A person who is swinging flies like myself will not be able to do so. To get a fish to move to a swung fly is not impossible, but the odds are stacked against you. I will be brining my eggbeater on this journey to double my chances of being able to fish.
For the fellow weather nerds here are some other weather forecasting websites “I know I have posted these before, but wanted to help others whom might not have seen them before:
Remember folks “cotton kills” and be safe this season.
Be well,
