Daily Report

On Thursday we had cloudy conditions with the temperature reaching near 40 degrees. What little snow we picked up during the week has melted and mild condtions with above average temperatures for this time of year are expected as we go through the weekend. The anglers we spoke with who fished the lower end of the river reported getting into fresh fish. In the upper end of the river anglers reported getting into fish between Altmar and Pineville as well as the Lower Fly Zone. The anglers who were fly fishing had the most success dead drifting or indicator fishing with egg patterns and nymphs. Anglers who were bottom bouncing or float fishing had the most success with pink and blue egg sacs, beads or pink worms.
