Daily Report

On Tuesday we had mostly calm conditions with scattered lake effect snow showers on and off throughout the day. Here at the shop we have just a few inches of snow on the ground, the roads are clear as well as the public access parking lots. Yesterday the few anglers we spoke with reported having a good day. Over the last couple of days the upper and lower end of the river is where most anglers are going on a daily basis. If your willing to walk and looking for some solitude, the mid section of river would be a good choice. With the low water conditions the fish have been holding in and around the deeper holes and larger runs. For those anglers who are fly fishing, dead drifitng with nymphs, indicator fishing with egg patterns or swinging small streamers with sink tips have all produced results. For those anglers who are bottom bouncing or float fishing, egg sacs and beads have produced the best results. Depending on the day anglers have been getting into fish in the Lower Fly Fishing Zone, Schoolhouse area, Trestle Pool area, Pineville area, Sportsman Pool area, Staircase/Longbridge, Black Hole and the DSR.
