Daily Report

January 23 2025

Wednesday was another cold day and with a little bit of sunshine it made it feel warmer then it actually was. We had no reports from anglers. Looks like we are going to see some improvement with the weather over the next couple days, the temperature at night will still be very cold, but the temperature during the day is expected to get into the mid 20's. With temperature in the low teens at night 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 868cfs. 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.

Nymphs: Prince nymphs, copper john's, pheasant tails, wiggle stones, steelhead hammer, beadhead stones, rubber legged stones.
