Daily Report

Wednesday was mostly an all day rain event along with the temperature reaching into the mid 40's. With the recent rain and melting snow were getting plenty of runoff, so it's no surprise that last night the dam release has been increased to 350cfs. The forecast for Thursday calls for cold and windy conditions along with lake effect snow possible later in the day. Yesterday the few anglers we spoke with reported having a good day in the upper end of the river.  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.
