Daily Report

January 20 2025

Over the next several days we will be getting a blast of arctic air with the coldest temperatures of the season so far. Also a lake effect snow warning has been issued for our area over the next couple of days. With temperatures in the single digits slush ice will be a factor in the lower end of the river and if you are going to fish, the best section to avoid slush ice is the upper end of the river between Altmar and Pineville. The release from the dam is now running 750cfs and Pineville gauge is reading around 876cfs. 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. 

Shop hours:

Monday - Saturday 8:00AM - 6:00PM.

Sunday 8:00AM - 5:00PM.

Suggested patterns:

Eggs: Estaz eggs, steelie omelet, glo-bugs, sucker spawn.

Streamers: Crystal buggers, woolly buggers, zonkers, bunny leeches, egg sucking leeches.
