Daily Report

On Friday we had scattered rain showers in the morning that changed over to wet snow showers in the afternoon and the temperature was in the 30's along with windy conditions. Around mid day the water release at the dam did drop down to 350cfs. The best reports we had came from the upper end of the river in Altmar. The upper end of the river between Altmar and Pineville has been getting the most pressure on a daily basis. If your willing to walk and looking for some solitude, the mid to lower end of the river is a good choice. Over the last couple of days anglers have been getting into fish in the Lower Fly Zone, Wire Hole, Frazier's Run, Ellis Cove, Bovines, Trestle Pool, Pineville, Sportsman Pool, Town Pool and DSR. For those anglers who are fly fishing the most productive patterns have been rusher nymphs, wiggle stones, steelhead hammer, steak-n-eggs, squirmy worms, woolly buggers, estaz egg, glo-bugs and sucker spawn. For those anglers who are bottom bouncing or float fishing pink worms, beads and egg sacs in blue, pink or chartreuse have all produced results.
