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).

Conditions were comfortable, with temperatures in the mid 40's for most of the day and a good mix of sunshine and overcast.  With cold weather moving in this weekend, quite a few anglers eagerly joined us today.  Having had a few days of a consistent dam release, and a bit warmer weather, hopes were definitely high today.  Based on the reports we received from our anglers, it was a grind, but in covering significant ground some anglers were able to find several fish in their outings, but no significant numbers reported.  The dam release is currently scheduled to remain at 500 CFS until 11:59 PM tomorrow (2/23).
