CFS at the dam remains at 195, CFS at the Pineville gauge 308 - we started the morning just below freezing, with the temperature only climbing a couple of degrees throughout the day - winds started light and variable, but gained in strength to a fairly brisk WSW wind - we only had periodic, very light and short lived flurries of snow, with the lake effect band hovering just North of us - quite a few guests ventured out starting early this morning - as they trickled back in throughout the afternoon, reports were that, with two exceptions, all the guests I spoke with had connected with at least some, if not respectable numbers, of fresh Steelhead - one father commented that he didn't hook any fish himself, but thoroughly enjoyed watching his young son hook into a few - a nice Brown Trout was brought to hand by a lucky angler - tomorrow the forecast is: "Cloudy with snow developing during the afternoon. High 34F. Winds SW at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of snow 70%."

Daily Fishing Report-the dam is at 195 cfs; Pineville gauge is at 313 cfs; water temperature at 40 degrees.  The few guests that I was able to speak with today upon departing were all in agreement that the fishing was good to excellent, from mid river to the lower end; no reports from the upper portions, with Steelhead being the only fish in the mix.  For tomorrow we will have temperatures in the mid-30s with light E / SE winds not expected to exceed 7 mph, and a high probability of mixed precipitation throughout the day.  (The dam is scheduled to be at 195 cfs through 11:59pm on Thanksgiving Day.) ***A reminder that the DSR hours of operation for tomorrow, Thanksgiving Day will be from 6:15am to 1:00pm.***

Rain in the morning, then overcast skies until around noon when the sun made an effort to emerge, and a cold rain to end the day. Perfect Steelhead weather. Except for the wind which blew pretty hard out of the West all day. Made things a bit of a challenge for our anglers but, hopefully, it will push some more fish up into the run. In spite of the wind, all anglers that I spoke with couldn't wipe the smile off of their faces. All had what was described as a "great", "excellent", and/or "excellent day. It was a rewarding day to be a Steelhead fisherman today. The posted release for the dam remains at 195cfs and the current flow at the Pineville gauge is 313cfs Tomorrow's forecast calls for temperature in the low 40's, breezy with some snow showers (total accumulation 1-3")

Overcast skies for the better part of the day although the sun did make a brief appearance during the afternoon. Early wind subsided and didn't present much of a problem for out anglers as they were able to find shelter during the early morning when the wind was the strongest. Another good day for Steelhead on the run and while I did not speak with all anglers as they left the run, those that I did indicated that there are good numbers of Steelhead and everyone was able to get into a fish or two. It might have been the appearance of the sun as fishing (while good this morning) picked up in the afternoon, particularly in the mid-section of the run. Center-pinners, traditional fly and two-handed fly fishermen were all happy today. Water from the dam remains at 195cfs and at Pineville the flow is 318cfs

The snow that occurred this morning missed us as we received (much needed) rain instead. Combined with the colder temperatures and wind it made conditions rather unpleasant for our anglers (Even for Steelhead fishermen). The sun did come out around noon and the rain stopped which was a good thing, but by that time a good numbers of anglers had been driven off the river. Reports this afternoon were that the rain was sufficient to bring the water level up nicely, but it was also sufficient enough to stain the water considerably. That pretty much shut down any success that the anglers had up to that point and while it begin to clear late this afternoon, there was still some discoloration. Given we haven't received any additional rain this afternoon and none is being forecast for overnight, I would expect the water to clear by morning. In that the higher water may have brought more fish into the run, tomorrow should be a good day on the run. We'll see what tomorrow brings. Water remains at 195cfs from the dam and the water at Pineville has risen to 400cfs (which would make it closed to 500cfs at the DSR

Well, we got some rain, but not quite what we had hoped for.  Off and on showers over the course of the day mixed with temperatures in the 40's made for a rather damp and cold day on the water.  While conditions weren't necessarily optimal, it certainly lessened the angling pressure.  A majority of our anglers joined us first thing this morning and fished into the early afternoon.  Overall, reports from the anglers we spoke with indicated a productive day, but not the numbers we saw earlier in the week.  Anglers fishing the middle sections saw the most success, with the lower section being the second favorite today.  Upper sections continue to see minimal pressure, with little reported.  Today, predominantly steelhead were reported with a number of browns reported in the mix.  At this time the dam release is scheduled to remain at 195 CFS until 11:59 PM tomorrow (11/22). Please monitor safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for updated dam release scheduling. REMINDER: DSR's staggered release has concluded as of 10/27.
