This afternoon a couple of inches of snow fell, temps stayed around 30. Winds WNW at 15 to 25 mph. Chance of snow 100%. Tonight Cloudy. A few flurries or snow showers possible. Low around 20F. Winds NW at 15 to 25 mph. Tomorrow becoming windy, with intermittent snow or snow showers becoming steadier and heavier late. High 27F. Winds WNW at 20 to 30 mph. Chance of snow 70%. 1 to 3 inches of snow expected. Winds could occasionally gust over 40 mph. The flow out of the Dam drops to 300CFS at 6 PM this evening thru midnight tonight. There were just a couple of anglers today, slush and some ice from up river was an issue.  

CFS at the dam is 750 through midnight tonight, CFS at the Pineville gauge is 1310. Air temperatures remained in the mid 30s overnight and throughout the day, skies were overcast, winds were variable, at times gusting, and became stronger as the day progressed, we had a mid-afternoon fairly brief flurry of snow that only amounted to a dusting on the ground. A solo guest joined us today, fishing into the very early afternoon. He was able to bring to hand a decent amount of "skippy" Steelhead (4#-5#) in the lower and middle sections. He reported that the water was clear, and their was no ice or slush. Overnight low will be 28 degrees Fahrenheit, with snow. Tomorrow's forecast will be: Variably cloudy with snow showers. Temps nearly steady around 30. Winds WNW at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of snow 70%. Snow accumulating 1 to 3 inches. Be advised that we are currently under a lake effect snow warning until 6 PM this Sunday.  Localized heavy bands of snow (2 to 3 feet of snowfall) may be present in the most persistent bands, exacerbated by strong winds up to 40 mph that may create whiteout conditions.

CFS at the dam 750 through at least midnight tonight, CFS at the Pineville gauge 1350, water temperature 36 degrees Fahrenheit, water clarity was OK - air temperatures hovered in the high 30s, it was overcast and drizzly, with fairly strong sustained winds and occasional gusts, throughout the day - despite the conditions, nearly two dozen guests joined us on the run today, trickling in from just after opening until early afternoon - as these guests began leaving at noon, and into the hours near dusk, reports were positive in that almost all guests hooked into fish, although only roughly three quarters of those who were lucky enough to hook up were able to actually bring the fish to hand - the three exceptions to getting any tugs were two admitted novices "learning" and a self-described "net man" - featured is Stuart with a sample of the Steelhead he brought to hand today - they ranged from "cookie-cutter" chrome to some hefty fish that appear to be domestics - overnight low will be 28 degrees, with about an inch of snow - the forecast for tomorrow is: Partly to mostly cloudy and windy. A few flurries or snow showers possible. Temps nearly steady in the low to mid 30s. Winds W at 20 to 30 mph (winds will increase as the day progresses).
