I don't know who was responsible for the weather forecast today, but they got it all wrong. This morning was on target with temperatures in the mid-60's and a mixture of sun and clouds, but this afternoon things went downhill. Overcast, rain throughout the afternoon and temperatures in the high 40's. Pretty miserable. Hopefully, tomorrows forecast which is calling for mix of sun and clouds and temperatures in the low to mid-60's, will be on target. We had several anglers join us on the run and the reports were that fishing was decent. Good numbers of smallmouth came out to play and there are still Steelhead in the mix. I talked to an angler this afternoon that was fishing upriver and he reported that there are still good numbers of fish (which means that there are still mor to come). The flow from the dam will remain at 350cfs and the current flow at Pineville is 542cfs.

The weather this morning was cloudy, overcast, and cooler than we had expected, but by this afternoon the skies lightened up, the sun came out, and temperatures rose well into the 60's. It ended up being a beautiful Spring day. The anglers that fished the run today reported getting into a few Steelhead and bass today. As is usually the case, some did better that others, but overall I would say that it was a decent day. While it's hard to establish a pattern (with changing weather and water flow) it does seem that the drop back season is winding down. It looks like the weather will be more consistent for the next several days, the water flow will be dropping to 350cfs at midnight tonight, and that should allow us to get a better idea as to the state of affairs. Flow from the dam is currently (pun intended) at 500cfs but will be going to 350cfs at midnight tonight and the flow at Pineville is presently 560cfs (which is down from 660cfs earlier today) which suggests that they may have already dropped the water from the dam.

Contrary to forecasts, the rain held off this morning, with some off and on showers as we got into the afternoon. Overall, another warm day approaching near 70 F even with the lack of sunshine. Water temperatures began at a reported 50 F and reached about 54 F by mid day. Most of our anglers joined us first thing this morning and fished into the early afternoon ahead some heavy stints of rain. Again, the lack of sunshine seemed to put a damper on the smallmouth activity. While the number of bass reported was lower again today, it seemed to give way to quite a few hungry steelhead. Most angling efforts were concentrated in the middle and lower sections, with the middle reporting the most productivity. The current dam release is scheduled to remain at 500 CFS until 11:59 PM tomorrow (4/29). Please monitor safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for updated dam release scheduling.

Temperatures took quite the dive last night, starting the day out at about 25 F with a thick layer of frost.  Fortunately, temperatures quickly rose and more than doubled, reaching about 59 F by this afternoon.  Overall, conditions were comfortable, but the lack of overcast seemed to be today's hurdle.  Most of our anglers joined us first thing this morning despite the rather frigid temperatures, taking advantage of the fishing before the mid day sun.  Based on the reports that we received, most were successful in landing quite a few smallmouth bass, with just only a couple of reports of steelhead today.  Most angling efforts were concentrated in the middle and lower sections of the run, with the middle section reporting the most productivity.  At this time, the dam release is currently scheduled to remain at 500 CFS until 11:59 PM tomorrow (4/27).  Please monitor safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for updated dam release scheduling.

A cooler day, clear blue skies, and no wind were the conditions that our anglers experienced today. Reports were mixed today with some anglers striking out while others were quite successful in brings Steelhead to hand. No particular section of the river seemed to fish better than any other. Tomorrow's forecast of clear skies and temperatures approaching 60 looks very promising. The water temperature started at 44 degrees and rose to fifty by mid-day in the lower end of the run. Water from the dam is 500cfs through midnight tomorrow and the current flow is 628cfs at Pineville.

Today was, in many ways, the opposite of yesterday. Today we had significantly cooler temperatures than yesterday, we had sunny skies in the morning that gave way to clouds in the afternoon and today it was the other way around, and the fishing was clearly much improved from yesterday. The anglers that I spoke with rather than describing it as "tough" thought, overall, the fishing was very good. Clearly more Steelhead were brought to hand and significantly more smallmouth bass came out to play today. We will have some cold overnight temperatures in the forecast for the next couple of days and we'll have to wait and see how that plays out. The flow is to remain at 500cfs from the dam through midnight tomorrow and the current flow at the Pineville gauge is 641cfs (and holding steady). We had no water temperature readings for today, but there is little doubt that it has cooled down some (and will continue so over the next several days).

Today was a 50-50 kind of a day. Weather-wise this morning was sunny with relatively little wind and this afternoon the front rolled in and it became cloudy, overcast, and windy. The fishing 50-50 as well. Of the anglers that I spoke with, about half struggled to get into any fish and the other half found some success. Not great success and not the numbers of recent days, but still a decent day. The smallmouth seemed to be evasive as there were very little reports of smallmouth success, but that may have been due to the fact that our guests were focused on catching Steelhead. Overall, the consensus was that today was a "slower" and "tough" day. The water temperatures was reported as 45 early this morning and by noon had risen to 51 degrees. Water from the dam remains at 500cfs and the flow at Pineville is 641cfs.

The last guest of the evening reported a very good day, with one guest hooking into double digit, all hookups were Steelhead. Tonight's forecast: "A few passing clouds. Low 38F.

Another interesting mixture of conditions today, with a light rain turning to brief snow showers, and then to clear blue skies.  Temperatures dropped into the mid 30's last night, making for a cold start to a late April morning.  Despite the colder morning, most of our anglers joined us early this morning, taking advantage of the overcast before this afternoon's clear blue skies.  Based on reports from our anglers today this morning, a few anglers had success with steelhead, while this afternoon, a majority of the reports were of smallmouth with little mention of steelhead.  Most angling efforts were focused in the middle sections of the property, with a few anglers venturing down to the lower sections but indicating a rather difficult time given the winds.  The current dam release is scheduled to remain at 500 CFS until 11:59 PM tomorrow (4/22).  Please monitor safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for updated dam release scheduling.

A beautiful sunny day with reasonable temperatures and little wind. We could have done with a little less sunshine as that, combined with the higher water level, made things difficult for our anglers today. There were Steelhead and smallmouth brought to hand but I spoke with a number of anglers that came up empty today which is indicative of today's fishing being not quite at yesterdays level. I'm hopeful that with the drop of water and the forecast for clouds, that tomorrow will be another good day for Steelhead and Smallmouth. The water temperature this morning was 45 degrees and by noon had risen to 50. The flow at the dam remains at 1000cfs but at 9:00AM tomorrow the water will go to 750cfs.

Throughout the day we received excellent reports of fishing from the anglers with all that I spoke with getting into at least (most did more) and large smallmouth in good numbers were in the mix. The kind of day that we all hope for when we come fishing. Water temperatures were in the mid-40's to start the day and ended near 50 at the end. Perfect for drop back's and smallmouth alike.

The weather cooperated, for the most part today.  Some wind, and a few quick stints of fairly heavy rain.  But otherwise temperatures remained comfortable hanging in the mid 50's throughout the day with plenty of overcast.  Water temperatures began a reported 44 F and only increased to 45 F by mid day.  After rain yesterday and again today, run off continues to keep the Pineville gauge up, with a current flow of 566 CFS.  Despite the continued runoff, water clarity was not reported to be an issue today.  Based on reports from our anglers, today was definitely a good day.  Both comfortable and productive.  Anglers filtered onto the property beginning at first light through mid afternoon.  Ultimately it sounds like this morning fished the best, with most reporting fish right off the bat, and then bit of a lull carrying into the afternoon.  With another good turnout today, a majority of the run was covered, but upper sections of the property indicated the greatest success with a mix of well mended drop-backs and a few fresh steelhead.  At this time the dam release is scheduled to increase from 295 to 750 CFS at 9:00 PM tonight (4/14), where it is scheduled to remain until 11:59 PM tomorrow night (4/15).  Please monitor safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for updated dam release scheduling.

Beads under bobbers, a baby blue jig with a white body and tail under a bobber, and a swung egg-sucking leech pattern all accounted for Steelhead, while a small floating minnow lure was very effective for those guests who mainly targeted Smallmouth Bass today.

Beautiful blue skies, negligible wind, and temperatures in the low 70's. What more could you ask for? How about excellent Steelhead fishing? We had that as well. Today was the day that we have been waiting for. The elements must all have come together because the fish showed up in far greater numbers that we have seen so far this drop back season.. Those that were swinging flies got into Steelhead today (and that should tell you something). I spoke with many happy, satisfied and grateful anglers today. Fish seemed to be in all the spots you would expect them to be and reports are that there are still plenty of fish upstream that will be making their way down. Water temperature approached 50 degrees late this afternoon and with the 60 degrees and rain in the forecast for tomorrow, things are shaping up very nicely.

An interesting day, to say the least, on the run today. Most of the guests that fished the run today were individuals that we haven't seen since salmon season, but wanted to combine some Spring Steelhead fishing with a once-in-a-lifetime total solar eclipse. It was great seeing so many old friends. The clouds came in and occasionally would part long enough to see the progression of the eclipse and the, around 3:20 things got very dark, very quickly. The difference between 95% solar coverage and totality was the difference between night and day. Literally. Things got eerily quite, birds went silent, and the air got noticeably colder. Quite the experience. I know it's a cliché to say "cool", but that's what it was. Very cool and glad we could experience it. In terms of fishing, the smallmouth bass are playing hard to get, but I think with the warmer temperatures in the forecast, things could change very quickly. The Steelhead, however, aren't as elusive as they have been of late. Anglers are being much more successful hooking fish nd bringing them to hand. Still not crazy numbers but we are now getting reports of anglers getting into multiple fish rather that "a fish here and a fish there." The numbers are increasing and with a seventy degree in the forecast for tomorrow, things should continue to improve.

Most anglers were able to find success in the middle sections again, specifically in the deeper pools.  All reports were of drop back steelhead, with the exception of a brown trout landed.

It did relent toward the end of the day but by that time most of our anglers had left the run. Still, the few anglers that I spoke with most of them were able to bring a few fish to hand. The occasional sucker is showing up and one Brown Trout was also in the mix. Cooler temperatures tomorrow (in the low forties), breezy in the morning, and periods of rain throughout the day.

Not great numbers but a bit of an improvement over what we have seen of late. I guess the "powers that be" expect some increased moisture over the next several days as the water from the dam will be going up to 1500 cfs beginning at 9:00PM tomorrow night. Current flow at Pineville is 1390 cfs
