Daily Report

On Wednesday the weather improved from what we saw the previous few days with the temperature reaching into the mid 30's. The water release at the dam was also increased from 350cfs to 500cfs. Anglers stopping into the shop reported getting into fish mostly in the upper end of the river between Altmar and Pineville as well as the Lower Fly Zone. This section of river continues to get the most fishing pressure on a daily basis but is also producing the most action. If your looking to avoid the crowds and willing to walk the mid to lower end of the river would be a good choice.  Anglers who are fishing the Lower Fly Zone have had the most success dead drifting with natural nymphs or indicator fishing with single egg patterns. For those anglers who are bottom bouncing or float fishing, blue, pink, chart egg sacs, pink worms, marabou jigs and beads have produced the best results.
