Grande Ronde Blowing out

Cold one week and thawing out the next. What is it with this part of the world. We are experiencing 45 F temperatures at 5,000 ft just outside of Joseph today. Looks like it may continue to be warm and rain through the weekend. The Grande Ronde River is on a steep climb and looks like it could double in flow in the next 12 hours getting over 3,000 cfs. This is probably a bad weekend to try to cast a fly for Steelhead on the Grande Ronde River. We will plan on getting out and fishing as the flows drop on after this event. Could be good.
