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. Reminder: DSR will be closed tomorrow, December 25^th.   Upcoming DSR Lodge Availability: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/15RednZ7ur/   Hours of Operation - (Dec. 26 – Jan. 2) Open - 6:45 AM Afternoon Passes - 12:00 PM Close - 5:15 PM Angler Check-in & Release - 6:45 AM (ALL GUEST CATEGORIES)
