Daily Report

On Saturday we had cloudy conditions with the temperature in the 50's along with scattered lite rain showers in the afternoon. What little rain we got didn't amount too much, with the heavy rain staying south of us. At 9:00PM Saturday night the release from the dam was lowered to 500cfs and Pineville gauge was reading around 695cfs as of this morning. We currently have drop backs scattered throughout the river from top to bottom. Yesterday we got mixed reports from anglers depending on where they fished, some said it was a good day, while others said it was slow for them. Whether your walking or in a drift boat, covering lots of the water has been the key to drop back success. With the recent drop in water level, the deeper holes and larger runs have been producing the best action. For those anglers who are fly fishing, swinging streamers with sinking leaders or dead drifting with egg patterns has produced steady results. For those anglers who are bottom bouncing or float fishing, egg sacs, beads and pink worms have all produced steady results.
