Daily Report

On Monday we had cloudy and calm conditions with the temperature reaching into the mid 20's. The release from the dam is currently running 350cfs and the Pineville gauge is reading around 470cfs. So far it's been an old fashion winter and picking a window when the weather cooperates has been challenging but overall the steelhead fishing has been good with good numbers of fish spread out in the river from top to bottom. Yesterday the few anglers we spoke with reported getting into steelhead both in the upper end and lower end of the river. 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.
