Daily Report

Wednesday was another day of cloudy conditions and the temperature holding right around the freezing mark. The water level came down again the previous day and the dam release is 350cfs. We spoke with several anglers who fished either the upper or lower end of the river. The majority of anglers we spoke with reported getting into fish along with seeing other anglers having some action as well. The Lower Fly Zone and the DSR continue to get the most fishing pressure on a daily basis. Anglers who were fly fishing had the most success dead drifting or indicator fishing with nymphs and egg patterns. Anglers who were bottom bouncing or float fishing had the most success with egg sacs or beads.
