Daily Report

Thursday was another mild day with mostly sunny conditions and the temperature reached into the upper 50's. The mild conditions are expected to continue for another day, then cool down as we head through the weekend. Yesterday we got mixed reports from anglers depending on where they fished, some anglers had some action, while others had a slow day, overall the best reports we had came from the mid to upper section of river. Anglers have been getting into fish throughout the river from top to bottom, covering lots of water has been productive and with the increased number of anglers finding some less pressured fish has been another key to success. With the water temperature still in the mid 40's a variety of techniques have been productive. For those anglers who are fly fishing, dead drifting or indicator fishing with egg patterns as well as swinging streamers with sinking leaders have all produced results. For those anglers who are float fishing or bottom bouncing with spinning gear, pink, blue and chart egg sacs as well as beads have all produced results.
