During the night we picked up roughly a foot of lake effect snow here at the shop, but much higher amounts of snow were reported just north of us on the Tug Hill. Tuesday was another day of arctic cold conditions and we had no reports from anglers. 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.
