Reasonable temperatures with light winds made for decent fishing conditions, but for some reason anglers stayed away today. One angler fished for a few hours this afternoon without success before calling it a day. Water flow from the dam remains at 1500cfs and the flow at Pineville is holding steady at 1880cfs. Improving weather conditions are forecast for tomorrow with some sunshine predicted (if you can believe that) and temperatures in the low 40's. Sounds like a good day to hit the river.

The dam release increased to 1500 CFS last night, where it remained today, and is currently scheduled to remain until 11:59 PM tomorrow (1/29).  Rain and higher water kept things fairly quiet on the run, with a few anglers making their way onto the run beginning first thing this morning.  Based on the Pineville gauge, we've continued to see runoff slowly taper off.  From reports we received from anglers today, it seems things fished similar to that of yesterday in the 1200 release with just a few fish hooked and landed, most of which were fresh steelhead with 1 brown trout reported in the mix.  Currently, the dam release is scheduled to remain at 1500 CFS until 11:59 PM tomorrow 1/29. Please be sure to monitor scheduled flows via safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill ahead of any upcoming trips.

Rain

Despite the higher water a number of anglers joined us, with most getting an early start this morning.  Runoff began tapering off a bit today, but still a significant amount of it, based on the Pineville gauge still running about 600 CFS higher than the dam release.  From the reports we received from our anglers today, water clarity didn't seem to be too much of an issue.  Given the high flows restricting the accessibility, a majority of angling efforts remained focused on the north side, and particularly the middle sections of the property.  A few anglers made their way to the lower most sections of the property, happily reporting that things are no longer 'locked up' with ice. Overall, it seems the fishing was 'okay' today, most just had a hard time keeping them on the hook.  With another day of rain ahead of us, the dam release is currently scheduled to be increased from the current 1200 CFS to 1500 CFS at 6:00 PM tonight (1/27).  Given the variability and frequent adjustment to the dam release scheduling, please monitor flows via safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill ahead of any upcoming trips.

The temperatures were moderate again today and the sun tried to come out (we saw a few patches of blue) but it never made it and then the temperatures started to drop. While we didn't have much rain today, there was considerable snow melt which put colder water into the system and caused the level to rise throughout the day. The few anglers that I spoke with had a couple of fish on, but were not successful bring one to hand The water from the dam will remain at 1200 cfs and the water at Pineville is 1880 cfs

It's certainly hard to ask for more comfortable winter conditions.  Temperatures remained in the low 40's today, with plenty of overcast and very little wind.  With another day of warmer temperatures we have continued to see a significant amount of snow melt sending ice cold run-off into the river.  Based on the reports we received from anglers today, things remained pretty consistent throughout the day.  Most anglers fortunate enough to find a couple of fish, but they seemed few and far between today with the continued surge of cold snow melt.  At this time the dam release is currently scheduled to remain at 500 CFS until 11:59 PM tonight (1/25).  Please be sure to monitor the scheduled dam release via safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill.

A mild day, with temperatures teetering around 40 F.  Light rains and warmer temperatures made quick work of the snow today, sending quite a bit of cold run off into the river.  With another break in the weather, we saw quite a few more anglers today.  Based on the reports we received from our anglers today, it was a tough pick, with 'plenty of fish around' but 'not a lot of cooperation'.  The dam release is currently scheduled to remain at 500 CFS until 11:59 PM tonight (1/24).  With a bit more rain and warmer weather in the forecast, please be sure to monitor the scheduled dam release via safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill.

Temperatures held just above freezing, making for a mixture of a bit of light rain, but mostly snow.  With fairly comfortable conditions and flows remaining at 500 CFS, we saw a bit more angling pressure today with anglers filtering on and off the run throughout the day. Overall, based on the reports we received from our anglers, fishing seemed pretty good, with a majority of anglers reporting multiple fish landed in their outings.  Efforts continue to be concentrated in the middle sections of the property, with no reports from the lower or upper sections today.  At this time, the dam release is scheduled to remain at 500 CFS until 11:59 PM tonight (1/23).  Please check safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for an updated dam release schedule.

Snow

It's nice to see a glimpse of some blue skies after all that snow! While temperatures are still below freezing, we made it out of the teens today for the first time in a few days now. Just a few anglers eagerly took to the run today, but contended with significant slush this morning until things crawled out of the teens with a little encouragement from the sun.   With the combination of low temperatures, snow, and lack of activity, we've started to develop our first substantial shelf ice of the season down on the run.  It also appears that the estuary has frozen over, over the past week, and has likely begun to freeze over some of the lower most sections of the property.
