December 18 2024

Tuesday was another mild day with cloudy conditions and the temperature reached into the mid 40's. The mild conditions are expected to continue on Wednesday with rain moving through in the afternoon. The water level remains high with the release from the dam being 1500cfs plus runoff. Yesterday the few anglers we spoke with reported having some action mostly in the upper end of the river between Altmar and Pineville.  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.
