A little breezy, but conditions remained fair otherwise.  A mix of clouds and blue skies offered a good amount of overcast, keeping things pretty cool reaching only about 40 F.  Given the holiday, we had little pressure on the run, with just a few anglers filtering onto the property throughout the day.  Based on reports from the anglers we spoke with, it seemed there was slightly more activity than the past couple of days. Most angling efforts were focused in the middle sections of property today, with little reported in the lower sections.  All fish reported were drop backs, with the exception of one fresh chrome steelhead.  The dam release is currently scheduled to remain at 1200 CFS until 11:59 PM tomorrow (4/1).  Please monitor safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for updated dam release scheduling.

The sun came out this afternoon but that didn't seem to help the temperature (or the fishing) that much. Temperatures struggled to get above the mid-forties and our anglers struggled to get into Steelhead. This morning, when it was still overcast seemed to fish better than this afternoon, but that, too, was a bit of a struggle. Hopefully, the water level will be coming down over the next several days and, if so, that would help. The water coming into the reservoir from the North Branch of the Salmon River is steadily dropping and that is encouraging Currently the flow from the dam will remain at 1200 cfs through midnight Friday and the flow at Pineville is 1440 cfs

Sunny for the better part of the day with a cold front coming in this afternoon that caused temperatures to drop from 61 to the high 40's. Overall a pretty nice day. Wind was less of a factor than it has been of late. While things will be a little cooler over the next several day with temperatures in the low to mid-forties there is no rain forecast in the near-term. Fishing improved today from what it had been recently and that is very encouraging. While there weren't a great many anglers on the run today, the majority of those that joined us were able to get in to a Steelhead and multiple anglers were able to get into multiple fish. Hopefully, this pattern continues and continues on the upward trend. The water from the dam will be going up to 1200 cfs at 8:00PM this evening (which must be due to snow melt in the upper drainage) and the current flow at Pineville is 1010 cfs (and on the rise)

Well at least the wind wasn't out of the East like yesterday (meaning straight down river) but it still blew pretty hard. More manageable at cross-river, but still making things difficult. The fish aren't cooperating either. Not sure what is going on right now, but things have become pretty difficult. The water temperature reported by one angler this afternoon was 48 degrees. We should be seeing more Steelhead with those numbers, but is not the case. Inexplicably, the fish seem to holding upriver and taking their time journeying back to the lake. My expectation is that will soon change. Water from the dam remains at 750 cfs and at Pineville 961 cfs

Sunny skies and warmer temperatures than we have had for a while were favorable conditions on the run today. Unfavorable, and a difficulty commented upon by all of our anglers, was the wind. It was out of the East and it was formidable making for very challenging conditions on the run. Pretty much everyone struggled today. Water temperature started at 35 degrees this morning, 40 at 2:00PM and we had a late report of the temperature going up some more this afternoon. It won't get quite as colder overnight and with warmer temperatures tomorrow the water temperature should continue to go up and that will improve things considerably.

Once the sun came over the trees things got tough. Overall, activity seemed to be lighter today, compared the past few days.  The dam release is currently scheduled to remain at 750 CFS until 11:59 PM tomorrow (3/25).  Please monitor safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for updated dam release scheduling.

A calm start to the day with plenty of overcast, quickly turned into high winds with few clouds and quite a bit of sun but only about 40 F.   Most of our anglers joined us mid morning, just in time for the wind.  With winds hanging between 10-15 MPH and gusts up to 30 MPH things were certainly tricky today.  Based on reports from our anglers, it was a bit of grind between the elements and following up a fairly heavily pressured weekend, but seemed to be on par again with the activity we've seen the last few days.  Efforts were pretty wide spread throughout the property, with some attempts made in the lower sections of the property but ultimately proving to be unproductive for most contending with winds.  With the water back down to a reasonably wadable flow, some anglers ventured to the upper sections of the property and were able to find a few fish and seek some refuge from the high winds.  But once again, the middle section prevailed, and seemed to be the most productive for anglers today. The dam release is currently scheduled to remain at 500 CFS until 11:59 PM tomorrow (3/18).  Please monitor safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for updated dam release scheduling.

Thankfully the winds of yesterday subsided and the clouds gave way to clear skies and warmer temperatures. Those factors contributed to a number of anglers fishing the run today. A brown trout and a number of drop-back Steelhead rewarded our anglers for their effort, but not in great numbers. The higher water continues to make things less-than-idea, but it looks like things will be begin to change in that regard. The scheduled water release from the dam is currently 1200 cfs but will be going down to 1000 cfs at 7:00AM tomorrow.

Today's conditions certainly weren't for the faint of heart.  Steady rain, and a SE wind at about 20 MPH with gusts up to 38 MPH made for a rather difficult day.  Several anglers joined us for short outings today given the conditions.  Based on the reports from these anglers, each were able to land at least one steelhead, but between the driving winds and rain they didn't come easy.  It was one of those days, no matter where you went on the property, there just wasn't that perfect spot to seek some cover from the elements.  These anglers covered quite a bit of ground, but the middle section was reported to be the most fruitful. Forecasts call for similar weather conditions tomorrow, with temperatures dropping into the 30's with rain likely turning to snow.  The current dam release is scheduled to remain at 1200 CFS until 11:59 PM tomorrow night (3/10).  Please monitor safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for updated dam release scheduling.

Not the weather we had yesterday, but temperatures in the mid-fifties at this time of year is not something that I'm going to complain about. The wind was a little bit of a nuisance, but overall a very good day to be on the run. While the weather did not improve from yesterday the fishing certainly did. Nearly all anglers that I spoke with today had a good day bringing multiple fish to hand. A mix of a few spawned out fish but numerous fresh chrome in the 7-9 pound range. The consistent warmer days and nights that we've experienced recently appear to be having the predictable effect of the fishery. We're starting see better numbers of fresh and drop-back steelhead. The flow from the dam remains at 500 cfs through 7:00PM this evening at which point it will be going to 1200 cfs (which is a little surprising giving the absence of snow and rainfall). Flow at Pineville is currently 755 cfs (but, of course, that will be on the rise as well)

A beautiful day on the run. Certainly for this time of year, but at any time this weather is hard to beat. Temperatures into the 60's, sunny skies with little wind to speak of. Good water levels, water temperature starting out this morning around 40 degrees and rising a couple of degrees over the course of the day. And no snow anywhere. The anglers that fished the run today had a great day regardless of the fishing success. Still about half our anglers were able to get into a fish and some got into a couple. Fish brought to had were reported to be spawned out fish.

Temperatures began in the low 40's and reached just into the lower 50's, with very little wind and heavy overcast, making pretty optimal conditions.  Anglers trickled onto the run, with most starting their outings mid morning.  Based on the reports we received from anglers today, it sounds like having a 500 CFS has been a great opportunity to cover water, and in order to find fish you certainly had to cover some ground.  Most anglers today reported hooking into at least a fish, with a few anglers fortunate to land a couple.  The fish reported today were a mix of fresh, colored up, and spawned out fish.  It's certainly become clear based on the recent fish activity we have seen, and the steadily increasing number of drop backs showing up, we are in a transitional period.  The dam release is scheduled to remain at 500 CFS until 11:59 PM tonight (3/3).  Please monitor safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for update dam release scheduling.
