Stormy weather and working on the watermanatwork.com website<\/a><\/strong> are pretty much what’s happening right now. The enjoyable content production here on ronbarbish.com<\/a><\/strong> is slow right now because I am working on the watermanatwork.com<\/a><\/strong> website and my other website dealing with what happened to me and five years living on the side of the road. This “other” website has taken a lot of work and emotional gymnastics, but I feel an urgency to put this information forward. I feel it’s critically important, the website is mostly finished and ready to go online if anything should happen to me. That’s all I can say about it at this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have not been kayak fishing in some time. The water in the Colorado River is much colder than normal, which results in poor fishing because the fish are refrigerated. There are now river access problems as well, courtesy of the Bureau of Land Management. Since it looks like the largemouth bass fishing here is going the way of the Columbia River salmon<\/a><\/strong>, I figured it would be a good time to publish some photos I’ve taken of the great fishing in the past because things are not getting any better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the watermanatwork.com<\/a><\/strong> website, there is a new page of Desert Southwest Kayak Fishing Photos<\/a><\/strong> and Desert Southwest Kayak Fishing GIFs<\/a><\/strong>. Taken over the past six years, there is a lot of great kayak fishing action and spectacular desert scenery. To check it out, click on the photo below for Desert Southwest Kayak Fishing Photos<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

The big story here in the desert southwest has been the weather. A summer of blistering record heat has been followed by a series of strong El Nino storms. Sunny days have been relatively rare, replaced by clouds, rain and wind with a dash of flash flooding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The seasons changed quickly. One day it was 105\u00b0, a couple days later it was cool and windy.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Desert<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

In late December, an El Nino storm hit dead on San Diego County, showering the desert with heavy rain and wind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the storm approached, the clouds thickened and the sky darkened.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Desert<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

A storm cell hit here just about dead center and dumped about a half inch of rain in about thirty minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"El<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

It was enough rain to cause flash flooding.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Desert<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

By late afternoon, the storm cell had passed. There was still light rain, but the trailing edge of the strong storm cell could be clearly seen.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

It seemed like there were rain storms moving through the area almost every day. Quite rare for one of the driest places in the country. Also rare is a desert double rainbow.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Desert<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

El Nino torrential downpours were not the only weather events. The desert wind, which seems to get stronger and more persistent every year, presented a few classic “Laurence of Arabia” dust storms. Very unpleasant.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Desert<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

A month to the day after the major El Nino storm near the end of December, the US west coast was hit with another big storm, causing flooding and landslides in Southern California and dumping a bunch more rain here in the desert.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"El<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

A few days later, the storm was still clearing out<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Desert<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The pattern of small storms continues and it is windy and very cool for this time of year.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Desert<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

With no fishing and not the best weather, the work will continue. I dislike being wasteful and I dislike wasting time most of all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
