Fishing Report 30 December 2024-The water temperature today was 35F. The weather today remained overcast throughout the day, with temperatures in the 40s, including some mist / sprinkles.  Fishing was tougher today than yesterday was the overwhelming theme from our guests as they departed the run.  The lower and middle portions of the run had the heaviest angler activity, but most anglers worked hard for a tug and only a few brought a fish to hand. Tomorrow we’ll see mostly cloudy skies, temperatures in the upper 30s to mid-40s, light S /SE winds under 10mph with little chance of precipitation. 750 cfs from the dam is scheduled through 11:59pm 12/31/2024.   With the Angler Limit at 30 per day, purchase your daily pass online.

CFS 750 at the dam until at least midnight tomorrow, CFS at the Pineville gauge 1030 - air temperatures started at 41 F and climbed to an incredible 52 F degrees by the end of the day - skies were overcast, with light to moderate, variable, winds all day - we flirted with our limit of 30 guests, between those checking in just before opening and into the mid-afternoon, balanced out by those leaving the run throughout the day - the pattern of reporting, for those that left the run after only a few hours of fishing in the morning, was that they had not met with any success, regardless of where they had fished - however, this changed quite dramatically in the early afternoon and through dusk, as those that had left earlier in the morning came back for "round two", and those that had gutted it out for the day, began to trickle off the run - nearly everyone of the afternoon crew was able to get into Steelhead, with some duos nearing double digits between them - for the most part, the Steelhead were "cookie cutter" sized, in the smaller four to six pound range, with eggs and beads accounting for these fish, and the lower section producing the largest majority, followed distantly by the upper section - the most successful guests covered a lot of territory, "slipping and dipping" (fishing briefly in a lot of small , specific, spots on the run) - overnight low will be 45 F - tomorrow's forecast is: Cloudy skies with periods of light rain later in the day. High 48F. Winds SW at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 70%.

Happy holidays everyone and Merry Christmas to all those celebrating! We had a few anglers join us this morning for a short outing as we closed at 1pm today. All our guests indicated that they had successful outings and enjoyed the milder temperatures, overcast skies, and light wind. Of the fish brought to hand, all were indicated to be steelhead in 3-6lb range. Our guests also indicated that there was significant shelf ice in a number of areas and it was beginning to break apart. Anglers observed that the shelf ice was roughly 6-10” above the water’s current surface at the 750cfs release due to the ice establishing higher up the bank during the previous 1,500cfs release. With these types of icy conditions, please use an abundance of caution when traversing the river’s banks and while wading.

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). Please monitor safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for updated dam release scheduling. REMINDER: DSR's staggered release has concluded as of 10/27.

195 CFS Dam Release

Snow

Off and on snowfall coupled with driving winds made for a tough day on the water.   While conditions weren't ideal, most of our anglers persevered, fishing from the early morning into the late afternoon.  Those anglers that covered ground proved to be the most successful today, with efforts wide spread today, but light angling pressure overall.  The lower sections were reported to be the most productive today, with the middle section a close second.  Forecasts continue to indicate possible snow through the night and into the morning, with 10-15 MPH and gusts up to 30 MPH.  At this time the dam release is scheduled to remain at 195 CFS until 11:59 PM tonight (12/4). 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 current hours of operation, check-in and afternoon pass sale times.

Snow

Snow fall continued from last night into the morning, with most of the accumulation coming from last night, and some off and on snow showers throughout the day. Despite the conditions, angling pressure was greater today, with most of anglers joining us first thing this morning and fishing into the early afternoon.  Based on the reports we received, today was another good day, with most anglers calling it quits because of the cold.  The middle and lower sections received the greatest attention, again with little reported in the upper sections.  At this time the dam release is scheduled to remain at 195 CFS until 11:59 PM tonight (12/2).

Snow

A cold start to the morning with a fresh blanket of snow made for a late start for most of our anglers.  Anglers trickled in over the course of the morning, with angling pressure light overall given the conditions.  Based on the reports we received today, it seems it was another good day for most of our anglers, continuing to report fresh steelhead.  Middle and lower sections reported the greatest activity, and little reported in the upper sections of the run, with light angling pressure throughout the run today.  At this time the dam release is scheduled to remain at 195 CFS until 11:59 PM tonight (12/2).

Clouds

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
