Daily Report

On Friday we finally had some improvement with the weather, the wind stopped blowing with fairly calm conditions and plenty of sunshine made it feel warmer then it actually was. Slush ice was a factor in the lower end of the river and did not clear. The release from the dam was lowered on Friday night and is now 350cfs and Pineville gauge is reading around 519cfs. Yesterday some of the anglers we spoke with reported having some action in 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, beads, pink worms and marabou jigs have all produced results.
