It happens to the best of us ... overnight low of 31 degrees, with a few snow flurries - forecast for tomorrow is: Mainly cloudy with snow showers around in the morning. High 33F.

Heavy snow and strong winds made for a tough day on the water.  Light angling pressure overall, with just a handful of anglers joining us given the conditions. The anglers that did join us today, fished the majority of the day despite the rather brutal wind and snow.  With a considerable amount of time spent on the water, most of these anglers reported a successful outings, but nothing was easy.  A steady West-Northwest wind at 20 mph, with gusts of 36 mph certainly isn't ideal.  Most angling efforts seemed concentrated in the middle sections today, offering the most refuge from the elements.  At this time the dam release is scheduled to remain at 195 CFS until 11:59 PM tonight (12/4).

Some light snow in the morning that barely accumulated on the ground before the sun came out this afternoon and melted it away. A bit chilly to start the day, but temperatures in the high 20's is temperatures that we should expect for this time of year. Reports from our anglers that fished today were very positive. The one expression that captures the day was "it was lights out." Nearly everyone was able to get into multiple fish and, clearly, some were fortunate to be in the right spot, at the right time, and doing the right thing. We'll wait and see what happens overnight with the snow that has been hold north of us. Hopefully it stays there and tomorrow should be another excellent day on the water. This is really shaping up to be an excellent Steelhead year. Water from the dam remains at 195cfs and the flow at Pineville is 286cfs
