Another pair of anglers joined us for a day on the run and reported a smallmouth (first cast!) and an enjoyable day on the run. Air and water temps are on the rise as we finish up June and head into the Independence Day holiday weekend. Bring the family and enjoy a day exploring the river and trails during our quiet time of year - the calm before the salmon storm!

A bit of a relief from the heat today, with temperatures remaining in the low 70's for most of the day, with a fair amount of overcast for about half of the day.  Water temperatures this morning were recorded at 64 F, and creeping up to 70 F.  Fish activity was rather quiet today, for the two anglers that joined us.  One angler joined us for a morning outing, which lasted into the early afternoon, reporting just a handful of bass today, less than his normal.  Another angler joined us for a few hours echoing our other angler's report today.  They just didn't seem to be there today, or if they were, they weren't too hungry.

We've hit that summer stride with low water flows and routine visits from our 'regulars' with a few new anglers mixed in. Enjoyable scenery and a few tugs on the line from some feisty smallmouth make even a short visit worth the trip. Water temps remain refreshing and in the low to mid 60s.

A beautiful, and hot start to the day, and things only got hotter. One angler joined us early morning, to try his hand on a low pressure day, with the run to himself. He managed just about a dozen small mouth today, indicating a great morning. He was able to get off the weather, before what appeared to be some impending weather, that eventually passed. Water temperatures today started around 63 F, and reach a recorded 69 F by high sun today.

Another beautiful day on the run with little wind, sunshine, and temperatures in the low to mid-70's. The water remained at 750 cfs from the dam which made fishing a little challenging, but our half dozen anglers were able to get into decent numbers of smallmouth bass with one group of three anglers indicating that they "had a great day". Water temperature went from 61 degrees early to 64 by mid-day.

A handful of anglers joined us today, taking advantage of the drop in water flows after the recent rain. All anglers were rewarded with a smallmouth on the line, some managed to entice more than a few. We enjoyed bluebird skies but the wind still presented a challenge, especially in the lower end of the run. Water flows were 61F at 8am, and bumped up to 65F at 12noon. Looks like its shaping up to be a nice weekend, come join us!

Two anglers had the run to themselves, taking advantage of a great partly cloudy, calm and cool day.  Both anglers were able to hook into a few bath, and each landing at least one bass.  Things are still a bit tough, with the water being up.  The recorded water temperature this morning was 63 F reaching around 65 at high sun. Given the amount of rain, the dam release is scheduled to increase to 1500 CFS for the day tomorrow.  Please check SAFEWATERS for updated release information, if you're planning on fishing tomorrow.

With a dry start to the day, another three veteran anglers got after it, before all of this rain. Despite the water still being up, and things being less accessible, the fishing seems to be remaining consistent, with some good numbers of bass indicated by our anglers today, again, swinging flies. A fair amount of rain ultimately lead all of our anglers to retreat, and call it a day.

Couldn't beat the weather today. A couple of well seasoned anglers joined us on the run, taking advantage of the low pressure and beautiful day.  Two of these anglers spent a majority of the day down on the run, having fun experimenting, swinging flies, getting into just a few smallmouth.  Another angler swinging flies, brought a half dozen smallmouth to hand himself, with some dry flies!  I'd say, a fun day for all anglers.

A beautiful, but somewhat chilly day today. Temperatures in the low 60's felt downright brisk after the heat wave of the recent past. Other matters must have taken precedent today as the run went unfished. Water level is still a bit high at 500 cfs out of the dam (through midnight) and currently 654 cfs at Pineville. Overnight low's in the mid-40's should cool the water down nicely and the weather for tomorrow looks to be sunny and highs in the lower 70's

Not too hot, not too cold, today was just right.  Surprisingly enough, just a couple of anglers took advantage of the day, and joined us on the water. With a release of 500 CFS from the dam, and a reported 700 CFS at the Pineville gauge, things are still a bit high than usual for anglers, but manageable for some.
