Oh trust me. Here in Wisconsin we know all about humidity. Some days I swear you could drown just breathing.

To hot to fish during the day here. I would switch over to night-fishing, but my go-to night-fishing spot is currently releasing 20,000 cfs right now. Kind of hard to fish stinkbait under a float with an LED in that kind of current....

Here in Washington record low snow pack, record low rain fall, record high heat, record number of days without rain. all contributed to the state closing rivers to fishing.
Never heard of this happening before. Rivers are at all time lows and fish are dying!
Heard reports that several dead king salmon are floating back down river never making to spawning grounds!
On top of that there are an estimated 6.8 million pink salmon on there way to come spawn in our rivers that are......well drying up! water temp is too high for proper oxygen levels for fish survival. No telling what is going to happen.
We heard rumor of closures but now it is OFFICIAL!

Drought conditions prompt fishing
closures, restrictions on numerous rivers
OLYMPIA – State fishery managers are closing or restricting fishing on more than 30 rivers throughout Washington to help protect fish in areas where drought conditions have reduced flows and increased water temperatures.
The closures and restrictions take effect Saturday (July 18) at 12:01 a.m. The changes will remain in effect until further notice.
Fishing will be closed in some waters, and limited in others each day to the hours between midnight and 2 p.m. These “hoot-owl” restrictions will go into effect on rivers where fishery managers want to reduce stress on fish during the hottest time of day.
High water temperatures can be deadly for fish, such as trout, while diminished stream flows can strand migrating salmon and steelhead, said Craig Burley, fish program manager for the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW).
“With such extreme drought conditions in several areas of the state, we needed to take these steps to help protect vulnerable fish in waters where we have concerns,” Burley said. “We’ll continue monitoring stream conditions throughout Washington this summer and take additional actions if necessary.”
For details on the closures and restrictions, check the emergency regulations, which will be posted tomorrow on WDFW’s webpage at https://fortress.wa.gov/dfw/erules/efishrules/.
Fishing closures and restrictions are listed by region below. Today’s action does not include any rivers in Region 6 (South Sound/Olympic Peninsula). However, earlier this summer, the department closed fishing on a section of the Sol Duc River to protect returning chinook during drought conditions.

Darn near every person i know was complaining about how cold our summer has been so far. Then we get 2 days of actual summer heat and everyone shuts their windows, turns on the AC, and starts complaining about the heat. Happens every year and still do not understand it. I was quite happy with the string of high temps in the 70's we were having but the every other day rain was a pain. The river behind the shop here is still 4'-5' higher than normal summer levels. Still looks like spring flow.
Attica Forecast for 7/22:
High 79°
Mostly sunny
Humidity 49%
Precipitation potential 3%
Winds NW 8mph changing to light/variable overnight
Low tonight 58°
CAN'T BEAT THAT WITH A STICK!
