Fortunately we were spared the snow today, with our neighbors just south of us seeing the brunt of this winter storm.  While we didn't get any snow, it was a windy day with WNW winds at about 17 mph and gusts up to 34 mph.  It certainly wasn't the easiest day on the water for the few anglers that joined us today, between the wind and a mid day water drop.  The dam release was adjusted at 2:00 PM this afternoon from 1500 CFS to 750 CFS, where it is currently scheduled to remain until 11:59 PM tonight (2/29).  For updated dam release scheduling, please monitor safwaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill.

Temperatures slowly made their away above freezing, but with gusts up to 17 mph and otherwise fairly consistent winds, it certainly wasn't a warm day by any means.  Most of our anglers eagerly joined us right at our 9 AM start, hopeful that with things warming up would instigate some activity after this extreme cold snap.  Based on the reports we received from anglers today, it proved to be another rather tough day for most, with a slow pick and just a few fish reported landed.  The dam release is currently scheduled to remain at a 500 CFS release until 11:59 PM tomorrow (2/26).

With temperatures beginning the day around 11 F anglers began to trickle in mid day, once the sun came out to warm things up.  Even with clear skies and plenty of sun, temperatures remained at about 20 F.  And, if it wasn't cold enough, we were faced with pretty consistent winds, with gusts up to 17 MPH.  Despite rather tough conditions, most anglers stuck it out for the majority of the day, regardless of what seemed to be a lack of fish activity today.  A couple anglers managed to bring a fish or two to hand, but the majority indicated a skunk today.  Temperatures are expected to drop just slightly tonight, with a high of 41 by the afternoon.  The release from the dam is currently scheduled to remain at 500 CFS until 11:59 PM tomorrow (2/25).

Not quite as cold as yesterday, but that didn't seem to help the fishing much. Still had clear skies and bright sunshine and that couldn't have helped. The angler's (just a few) that I spoke with worked hard for them today; covering lots of water and putting time in. Another tough day. If it were March I would be thinking that the fish or in that "transition" period and maybe, given this years relatively mild winter, that might be the case. We will be experiencing a warm up over the next few days and the temperatures for next week don't look all that bad so , optimistically, things will change in a positive direction. Tomorrow's forecast is calling for partly sunny skies and high's in the mid-to-upper 40's. Fish or no fish, a great day to be out on the stream. Water from the dam is scheduled to drop to 500cfs at 7:00AM and the current flow at Pineville is 893cfs

Bright sunshine made one think that it was a lot warmer than it actually was today.  Temperatures struggled to get out of the twenties all day.  At least there was no wind to speak of. The cold temperatures and bright sunshine made things difficult for our anglers today that struggled getting into any fish today.  Hopefully the warming trend that is forecast for later this week will improve conditions and the fishing as well.

Our guests checked-in mid-morning - the middle section was productive, with egg sacks under a bobber what the Steelhead wanted today - the Steelhead were, on average, in the 6# range - Tonight's forecast: "Partly cloudy skies. A few flurries or snow showers possible. Low 18F. Winds NNW at 10 to 20 mph." Tomorrow's forecast: "Becoming cloudy with snow likely in the afternoon. High 34F. Winds SE at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of snow 100%. Snow accumulating 1 to 3 inches.". NOTE: a reminder, as we approach much colder air temperatures, that fish must be kept wholly in the water throughout the release process, with a very brief lift for a photograph, and never laid out on the ground. In these sub-freezing temperatures, prolonged exposure to the air will damage their gills through freezing, and contact with the ground in any temperature will always remove their protective slime or damage them internally as they flop.

Nothing serious but damp and cold made things a little less than pleasant. Several anglers fished the run today and of those that I spoke with had limited success. A couple fish hooked but fewer brought to hand. The weather looks a little more promising tomorrow with sunshine in the forecast and slightly warmer temperatures.

Conditions were slightly colder and much windier today, with temperatures dropping back down into the 30's.   With a few days of a consistent 500 CFS release we were hopeful to see a little increase in activity.  A steady stream of anglers joined us on the run throughout the morning, with most making their way off by early afternoon.  Overall, based on the reports we received from our anglers today, fishing was similar to yesterday with nearly all anglers report at least a hook up, but only a few were able to land a couple.  Sounded like today's big obstacle was ultimately the wind.  The dam release is currently scheduled to remain at 500 CFS until 11:59 PM tonight (2/11).  Please monitor safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for updated dam release scheduling.

Our guests checked-in from just after opening time until late afternoon - those who fished only a few hours, and left before noon, were not rewarded - all those who put in the time, and walked in search of fish, were rewarded with anywhere from one to five fighting Steelhead, albeit mostly on the smaller side today, with only a few larger ones in the mix - two lucky guests also brought to hand three Brown Trout between them, one a nice 20" - remarkably, our last guest exiting the run reported that he battled a big Chinook Salmon in prime condition! Flies, egg sacks, and beads all produced today. Tonight's forecast: "Some clouds. Low near 30F. Winds ESE at 5 to 10 mph."

An even better day today than yesterday. Warmer temperatures, no wind to speak of and lots of sunshine. Every angler, regardless of whether or not they got into fish today enjoyed the fishing and "just getting out". Some were rewarded with the additional bonus of getting into a fish or two. The anglers that I spoke with covered lots of water; in part to find fish but also because it was such a nice day. No snow or ice to deal with which makes covering the run a lot easier. Next couple of days look similar to today with temperatures approaching 50 on Thursday. Is this early February?? Water from the dam will remain at 750cfs and the flow at Pineville is 1030cfs (both pretty much unchanged for the past several days)
