Daily Report

On Sunday we had a mix of scattered wet snow showers and rain for most of the day. We got mixed reports from anglers depending on where they fished, some groups worked hard and got into fish, while others struggled and had a tough time. The drift boats are covering lots of water but have been able to get into fish and its been a mix of drop backs, spawning fish or fresh fish still entering the river. The majority of bank anglers are fishing the mid to upper section of river and having the most success in the Upper & Lower Fly Fishing Areas, Frazier's Run, Ellis Cove, Bovines, Refrigerator, Pineville area and Sportsman area. The bank anglers have also been having success at some of the smaller local tributaries.
