Daily Report

On Tuesday we had cloudy conditions and the temperature reached into the mid 40's. During the night the rain moved in and is expected to continue throughout the day on Wednesday. With the recent rain and melting snow we are getting plenty of runoff, that being said, the best water clarity and least amount of runoff will be in the upper end of the river in Altmar. Yesterday the few anglers we spoke with reported having a good day in the upper and lower end of the river.  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.
