Another cool start to the day tomorrow with temperatures in the high 20s, getting up to the mid-40s by late afternoon, mostly cloudy skies, little chance of any precipitation, and light winds from the N / NW. The flow from the dam is projected to stay at 1700 through at least 11:59pm tomorrow evening; the Pineville gauge is currently at 1970 cfs.

Fishing Report for 03/26/2025-We had a couple of anglers on the run today.  I had a chance to speak to one of them and it was a solid day landing (5) steelhead in the lower portions of the run, and even better news that only (1) was colored up, the other (4) being very chrome and fighting like early fall fish! Tomorrow we’ll have temperatures in the mid-20s at sun-up, reaching the low 40s by night fall, with mostly sunny skies, and Westerly winds, 5-12mph, shifting to South-West late in the day. The flow from the dam is scheduled to remain at 1700 cfs through at least 11:59pm tomorrow evening; the Pineville Gauge is currently at 2000 cfs.
