{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Have you ever wondered what "Specific conductance, water, unfiltered, microsiemens per...:

I look at the USGS gauge at little falls as a guide for accessing the river within my personal limitations of depth and flow.  But, I have always wondered of what use is the graph at the bottom of the page.  http://waterdata.usgs.gov/md/nwis/uv/?site_no=01646500

I found this site that I feel explains what the data means: http://www.ourlake.org/html/specific_conductivity.html

So, how does this apply to good or bad fishing conditions.  The part that caught my eye was how much salinity is in the water.  I also construe that the higher the conductance the clearer the water or at least the water has less junk in it.  

I would rather be out fishing but the rain showed up on my days off (of course)
