T-shirt weather on Halloween was a sweet treat, but temperatures reaching into the upper 70's again today kept both angler and fish activity rather quiet today.  Water temperatures again began at 50 F, and reached a report 54 F.  Reports this morning indicated moderate fish activity in the upper sections of the run, but quickly died down, with anglers reporting minimal activity throughout the run as the day progressed.  Nearly all steelhead were reported today, with still a few lingering kings in the mix.  At this time the dam release is scheduled to remain at 290 CFS until 11:59 PM tonight (11/4).  Please monitor safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for updated dam release scheduling.  REMINDER: DSR's staggered release has concluded as of 10/27.  ALL anglers will be released onto the property after check-in.  Please see below for our updated as well as upcoming hours of operation, check-in and afternoon pass sale times.

Today's weather was a bit of a change in pace with temperatures approaching 80 F, making things warm and muggy.  Warm temperatures and low water brought water temperatures back into the 50's today, beginning at a reported 50 F and reaching 54 F this afternoon.  Most of our anglers joined us first thing this morning, with most making it off the run by late afternoon.  Based on the reports we received from our River Patrol and the anglers we spoke with today,  the day started off fairly quiet but reports pointed to an considerable increase in activity in the lower sections of the run late this afternoon. While lower sections reported success later in the day, activity in the middle and upper sections remained quiet throughout the day.  At this time the dam release is scheduled to remain at 290 CFS until 11:59 PM tomorrow (10/31).  REMINDER: DSR's staggered release has concluded as of 10/27.  ALL anglers will be released onto the property after check-in.  Please see below for our updated as well as upcoming hours of operation, check-in and afternoon pass sale times.

A beautiful fall day on the water, with temperatures remaining in the 50's today with little overcast and very light wind.  Water temperatures this morning began at a reported 48 F, and reached 51 F this afternoon.  Overall, light angling pressure throughout the run, with most anglers making their way off the water by early afternoon.  Based on the reports we received from our River Patrol and the anglers we spoke with today, the middle and upper sections indicated minimal activity, with the lower sections reporting a bit more success but also rather quiet.  Hopefully a few more cooler days and colder overnights will stir up some activity. At this time the dam release is scheduled to be reduced from 350 to 285 CFS 'due to ongoing drought conditions coupled with low reservoir levels. This lowered base flow will remain reduced until the reservoir recovers to normal historic elevations for this time of year.'  The dam release is scheduled to be adjusted tonight at 6:00 PM tonight (10/28).  REMINDER: DSR's staggered release has concluded as of 10/27.  ALL anglers will be released onto the property after check-in.  Please see below for our updated hours of operation and check-in time.

The weather has started to be a lot more like Steelhead kind of weather. Cold, sharp winds and dark cloudy skies. No rain and no snow flurries as of yet, but it sure felt like they weren't far off. The leaves were reported as not being too terrible today. Overall, I would say that the fishing was good. There were those that struggled, but overall a greater number of anglers were able to get into some Steelhead today. Spread though out the run, but, again, the mid and lower sections were somewhat more productive (although that may have been due to the fact that that is where more angers concentrated their efforts). Differing from earlier this week when it seemed that only a handful of anglers that had "the honey hole" were successful. And we're still getting reports of some "fresher" Kings being brought to hand. The water temperature dropped during the course of the day going from 55 degrees this morning to 52 degrees at 3:30 this afternoon. Flow from the dam remains (you guessed it) at 350cfs and the flow at Pineville remains at 436cfs (where it's been the past several days

Early sunshine gave way to overcast skies in the afternoon and that may have contributed to what has seemed to a bit of an improvement (overall) in the Steelhead fishing today. There are still those fortunate ones that have "the right spot" that have been doing well, but today it seemed that the success was more wide-spread (as were the smiles) Most Steelhead today with a few Kings in the mix and reports of a couple brown trout being brought to had.

The winds have picked up today putting more leaves in the river. The clarity is moderate, but manageable. Steelhead is the fish of the day, with River Patrol sighting them up and down the river. Most of the fish are holding in place with moderate success on the lower end of the run. The middle of the run is seeing some success with moderate numbers of anglers.

A chilly, bright sunshine day gave way this afternoon to temperatures in the mid-fifties and overcast skies (with a sprinkle here and there). Today our anglers had to work a little harder for the fish by moving a lot and changing up their offering. Those that did (particularly in the mid-lower sections) were rewarded with steelhead and the occasional King. The fishing success (while very good in some spots and particular times) was, generally, less than it was yesterday. And as I said, it was a little more work today. Our4 anglers are going to sleep well tonight. The flow from the dam remains at 350cfs and the flow from Pineville is 436cfs. This mornings water temperature was 48 degrees

We had another day with plenty of sunshine (after some morning mixed sun and clouds) but temperatures were significantly cooler than we've had for a while. Temperatures a good 20-25 degrees cooler and the cooler temperatures seemed to improve the fishing considerably as the angler reports during the course of the day have been a marked improvement from the past several days. Plenty of Steelhead, a surprising number of Kings (on the Fresh side) with even a couple fresh Coho thrown into the mix. While fish were brought to hand in greater numbers throughout the run, the mid and lower sections seemed to be the better choice. Tomorrow? Who knows. Much depends on what type of fish movement we have overnight and that's anyone's guess. The flow from the dam will remain at 350cfs and the flow at Pineville is 436cfs. This mornings water temperature of 51 degrees rose to 59 degrees by late afternoon. Tomorrow's forecast call for early sun, turning cloudy with a little bit warmer temperatures (high of 55)

Another unbelievable day weather-wise with temperatures in the mid-to upper 70's. It actually got a bit uncomfortable on the run. Mornings start out very cool so you dress for it, but by the time the day is over you're asking yourself why you brought so many clothes. Fishing remains challenging for most angers. There were Steelhead brought to hand and even some Kings on the "fresher side", but one needed to cover a lot of ground and hope that you hit upon the spots that held some fish. Those that were fortunate enough to find "the spot" were rewarded with some excellent fishing (particularly from mid-day on). There still reports of good numbers of Steelhead in the estuary and we're all waiting for some rain/rise in water levels that will trigger the fish and encourage them to enter into the run. Some rain and much lower temperatures are in the forecast for tomorrow and here's hoping that it improves the situation. Flow from the dam remains at 350cfs and at Pineville the flow is currently 447cfs

It's hard to believe that we're nearing the end of October and we have temperatures in the low 70's. And not just today but multiple days in a row. I suppose things will change soon enough, but it's nice while it lasts. Not too sure that it has helped the fishing as we continue to wait for some rain. Based on reports from anglers today, I would say that the fishing today was an improvement over yesterday. Not by significant margins, but better than yesterday. A few bright, fresh salmon and better numbers of Steelhead have been brought to hand. When interacting with anglers and guides today, most were pretty happy with their results. Water remains at 350cfs from the dam (unfortunately) and the current flow at Pineville is 453cfs. Late this afternoon water temperature was 62 degrees (up considerably from the past several days).

Another nice Fall day with temperatures close to 70 degrees with another nice day in the forecast for tomorrow as well. While we had plenty of sunshine, fishing probably could have been better with a little more clouds and less sun as the fishing reports suggested that the bite improved with cloud cover and diminished with the sun out (which is often the case.) There are still a few fresh Kings entering into the run and some Steelhead (but not what I would consider "a lot'). A few Kings were brought to hand as well as better numbers of Steelhead and what success there was seemed to be at the lower end of the run. Little success and minimal angler pressure existed in the middle and upper sections of the run. Of course, that could all change tomorrow. We need rain (which will give us more water) which will bring a greater presence of Steelhead. The afternoon water temperature was 54 degrees and the flow from the dam remains at 350cfs and at Pineville the flow is 447cfs

4:15pm River Patrol Fishing Report: The dam is reporting CFS at 350; Pineville gauge is reading 476 cfs; water temperature taken at 2pm is 60 degrees.  As has been the case the past several days the middle section of the run proved to be the most productive with fish brought to hand, (Kings, a few cohos, browns and steelhead), as well as angler volume.  The very upper and the lowest portions had the least angler volume and fishing was listed as slow to moderate.  We’ll have temperatures in the high 30s to start the day tomorrow, variable winds and showers spread out thru the day with total accumulations expected to be near ½”.

Off and on heavy rain throughout the day again today, with temperatures reaching around 55 F.  Heavy rain lessened the angling pressure a bit, and made for what seemed like a rather successful afternoon.  Based on reports from our River Patrol and the anglers we spoke with this afternoon; the middle and upper sections offered anglers moderate to good success on primarily kings with a few coho sprinkled in the mix along with several reports of both steelhead and brown trout.  The lower most sections showed steady movement up river with very light angling pressure.  At this time the dam release is currently scheduled to remain at 350 CFS until 11:59 PM tomorrow (10/10).  Please monitor safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for updated dam release scheduling and information.

A damp and dreary start turned into a bright sunny day for a few hours, but transitioned back to complete cloud coverage, heavy rain and a bit of thunder and lightning.  Despite some of the less than desirable weather, the fishing seemed to pick up from the morning into the afternoon.  Based on the reports from River Patrol and anglers we spoke with, there was a decent push of fish in the lower end, providing good angling opportunities throughout the property.  Reports from the uppermost sections indicated low angling pressure, with moderate success on primarily Kings with a few Coho in the mix.  Middle and lower sections of the property reported moderate to good success with predominantly Kings reported.  The dam release is currently scheduled to remain at 350 CFS until 11:59 PM tomorrow (10/9).  Please monitor safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for updated dam release scheduling and information.

5:00pm River Patrol Fishing Report:  Today’s afternoon reports weren’t quite as stellar as yesterday, however there were plenty of Kings, Cohos, along with a steelhead and brown landed.  Of note, our river patrol on the lower beats noticed more salmon moving from the estuary up into the main river than they had on any day previously this year which bodes well for the next few days, (hopefully.)  Tomorrow will start off with mostly cloudy skies, temperatures in the mid-50s, not expected to get beyond 60, with N / NW winds from 8-14 mph and a moderate chance of showers thru the day.   [caption id="attachment_70471" align="alignnone" width="300"] Nice King landed by Levi and Son guided by Brian Ferman of 'High Hook' guide service.[/caption]

5:00pm River Patrol Fishing Report:  The flow from the dam is 350 cfs; Pineville gauge is 453 cfs; water temperature taken at 3pm is 66 degrees.  It seems very likely that many of the fish milling about the estuary decided to make some movement upriver today as fishing was listed by most of the guests I spoke with as being the best this season so far.  From the lower end to the upper, except for the very top of the run, fish were brought to hand in solid numbers.  Kings, Cohos, a lone brown and steelhead were all in the mix.  Tomorrow we’ll start the day off in the mid-40s with S / SE winds reaching 10-12 mph, along with a slight chance of rain during the day, possibly having some thunderstorms move in at nightfall.  (Total Rain expected not more than ¼”.)

It looks like the over night winds and some rain has improved the fishing today, along with the lower water temperature of 59F this morning. Our guests have been having success all up and down the run. The number of anglers are mostly in the main section of the run with less activity in the extreme upper and lower ends of the run. River Patrol has noted that the fish are all moving upriver and hardly any holding in pools. The weather today will have areas of patchy fog early. Plenty of sunshine. High 67F. Winds NNW at 5 to 10 mph. The cooler temperatures should make the fishing a bit more comfortable today. The Dam is holding at 350CFS and out of Pineville 453CFS. This nice Brown was caught by George who's being guided by Scott Mathna of Redlegg Outfitters.

It’s fair to say that both morning and afternoon showed some improvement in the number of fish hooked as well as landed over the previous days.  Tomorrow should see temperatures start of around 50 degrees, reaching the mid-60s by late afternoon, with light N / NW winds.

Tomorrow’s weather is scheduled to mimic today for the most part, with temperatures starting out in the low 40s, increasing to the mid to upper 60s by afternoon, with light variable winds.

An ugly start to the day with drizzle and a chilling rain for the morning that cleared off nicely for the afternoon. The reports from up and down the river were very similar in that angler density was moderate and fishing success was slow. There are fish around (primarily Kings) and the more persistent anglers are having some success, but all are waiting a more serious push of fish. Reports from the lake indicate that they are still "pounding" the fish out there and it's just matter of time when those fish enter into the run. When? That's the 64,000 question. Flow from the dam remains at 350cfs through midnight tomorrow and the flow at Pineville is 464cfs (up about 20 cfs from this morning.

Beautiful Fall weather, but a challenging day for most on the run today. Both Coho and Kings are present, but anglers worked to get fish. Top to bottom the feedback from our anglers as well as River Patrol told the same story, moderate to low angler density, limited success with most fish moving upstream rather than holding in pools. "They're there. You gotta work for 'em." Flow from the dam remains at 350cfs and at Pineville 419cfs. This mornings water temperature was 62 degrees.
