Fishing Report for 04/30/2025-We had a handful of anglers join us on the run today.  One angler went (1) for (2) fishing beads under a float.  Comments of the water being off color / stained with some leaf debris, (probably from the drastic reduction in flow yesterday coupled with a large surge of water last evening.)  Water temperature at mid-day was 52 degrees. Tomorrow will start off with temperatures right around the 40 degree mark, nudging up to the mid-60s by late afternoon, with cloudy to mostly cloudy skies, and winds from the SE 5-12mph.  There is very little chance of precipitation throughout the day. The flow from the dam is scheduled to remain at 1500 cfs through at least 11:59 tomorrow evening; the Pineville Gauge is currently at 1920 cfs.

Fishing Report for 04/29/2025-We had a handful of anglers on the run today as the flow from the dam was 1500 cfs, (1810 cfs from Pineville) to start, but then a sudden drop in flow to 220 cfs at 12:00pm that is scheduled to go back up to 1500 cfs at 9:00pm this evening and remain that way through 11:59pm tomorrow evening.  (Our anglers are still on the run at this time and will edit with any pertinent information.)  The projected thunderstorms haven't been a factor here today as of yet.  Tomorrow's weather will be cooler, with temperatures that will start off and stay in the 40s, winds from the W / NW, 8-10mph, partly cloudy skies and little chance of any precipitation.

The flow out of the Dam will increase from 1000CFS to 1500CFS starting at 9pm on the 28 through midnight on the 29th. There were less than 2 dozen anglers on the water with mixed results. Some anglers were able to land a few Smallmouth bass using Rapalas in the middle of the run, while others managed to land a couple of Steelhead heading back out to the lake. We had a couple of anglers that landed several Steelhead and better than a dozen Smallmouth Bass, there was a lot of walking involved, on both sides of the run. The weather for this evening will be mostly clear. Low 52F. Winds SE at 5 to 10 mph. For tomorrow a bit of a change partly cloudy early with thunderstorms becoming likely during the afternoon. A few storms may be severe. High 79F. Winds S at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 60%.

Fishing Report for 04/27/’25-The first half of the day we had blustery north winds, with scattered showers, and temperatures in the high 30s to the low 40s.  By mid-day however, the sky cleared, the winds dropped off and the temperature reached the mid-50s.  The fishing seemed to fall somewhere between a very slow day for some, and a good to excellent day for others.  Speaking with our guests as they came off the run the comments varied from ‘slow’ to ‘very good’ with some anglers not hooking up at all and others hooking and landing multiple fish.  Although a few Smallmouth were caught, Steelhead are far and away the predominant fish on the run, (no reports today of any Atlantics brought to hand.)  Most of the anglers I spoke with used Centerpins with beads under a float, but the Spey anglers did very well also using wooly buggers and intruder style flies.  Water temperature was around 46 degrees in the early hours and rose to 50 degrees by mid-afternoon. Tomorrow’s forecast calls for mostly sunny skies with temperatures ranging from mid 40s at sun-up and climbing to the low 60s by mid afternoon with winds under 5 mph.  The water flow from the dam is scheduled to remain at 500 cfs through at least 11:59 tomorrow evening; the Pineville gauge is currently at 826 cfs.

The weather today was a good 15 degrees colder than yesterday. It was cloudy in the afternoon the winds were out of the west 5 to 10 mph, increasing to 15 to 20 with higher gusts possible. The winds were impacting fishing today especially on the north side of the river. Tonight's weather looks to be cloudy. Some light rain is likely. Low near 40F. Winds WNW at 15 to 25 mph. Chance of rain 90%. Higher wind gusts possible. Tomorrows forecast will be rain showers early with some sunshine later in the day. High 57F. Winds NW at 15 to 25 mph. Chance of rain 70%. Higher wind gusts possible. As stated the anglers battled the wind and colder temperatures, some anglers had some success with a few Steelhead being landed and a Smallmouth bass was landed. The flow out of the Dam will be 500CFS through midnight on the 27th. One of our season pass holders stated that the fishing picked up this evening.

The water temperature today was between 48F to 50F. The flow out of the Dam dropped from 750CFS to 500CFS at 7am, that rate of flow should remain until midnight on the 26th. The weather today was cloudy with periods of light rain. High around 65F. Winds light and variable. Chance of rain 60%. The forecast for tonight is rain showers early that will evolve into a more steady rain overnight. Low 56F. Winds SE at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 100%. Rainfall around a quarter of an inch. For tomorrow a steady rain in the morning. Showers continuing in the afternoon. Morning high of 58F with temps falling to near 45. Winds WSW at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 90%. Rainfall near a quarter of an inch. A good number of anglers were on the run today, the morning fishing conditions were challenging, a few anglers had success with egg sacks and beads on the middle to lower end of the run. A couple anglers caught the first Smallmouth Bass of the season today along with a several Steelhead. We had better than 40 anglers on the run today and a good number were able to hookup and land a fish or two.

Fishing Report for 04/24/2025-We had a couple dozen guests fish the run today, from first light to twilight on the entire expanse of the run.  The results, somewhat surprisingly, were down from yesterday with only a few fish brought to hand or hooked briefly and lost.  Our water temperature at midday was 49 degrees under mostly cloudy skies, with temperatures that reached the low 70s. Friday’s outlook is for continued cloudy skies, temperatures starting around 50 degrees and increasing to the low 70s, with light E / SE winds, and a slight chance of a late afternoon shower.  The biggest change started this afternoon with the flow from the dam being reduced from 1000 cfs down to 750 cfs at 2:00 pm, which will remain in effect overnight and then another reduction down to 500 cfs at 7:00am Friday morning.  The Pineville gauge is currently at 1020 cfs and dropping.  

Fishing Report for 04/23/2025-Bright sunshine with temperatures starting off around 37 degrees, increasing to the mid-50s through the day, with light WNW winds made for a beautiful day on the run for our two dozen guests that joined us.  Water flows were again 1000 cfs from the dam, (1380 cfs at Pineville), with water temperatures ranging from 45 at dawn to around 49 degrees by mid-afternoon. Our guests fished primarily with center pin rigs, under floats with beads or egg sacs, along with a pair of Spey Fisherman, from the upper middle portions to the very bottom of the run.  Success was again strong today, with similar numbers of fish hooked / landed as yesterday.  Most caught or hooked more than (1) steelhead, (no reports of Atlantics so far), with the majority of fish showing signs of healing up from recent spawning. Tomorrow’s outlook is for mostly to partly cloudy skies, temperatures starting out around 45 degrees, creeping up to the low 70s, with winds 6-8 mph, fluctuating from ESE to SE and eventually to SSW.  There is a slight chance of a brief shower at midday. Once again the flow from the dam is scheduled to remain at 1000 cfs through at least 11:59 tomorrow evening; the gauge at Pineville remaining relatively unchanged at 1370 as of 5:00pm.

Fishing Report for 04/22/2025-We had (10) guests fish the run today under mostly clear skies with light to moderate NW winds.  I was able to speak with most of the guests as they came back through the Welcome Center and the results were positive; everyone at least hooked and landed one or more fish, using center-pin and swing techniques, from the middle down to the lower sections.  We’ve seen an uptick in the numbers of Steelhead that have come back down the river after completing spawning over the past 2-3 days.  (One fortunate guest landed a nice Atlantic as well.) Tomorrow’s outlook is for mostly sunny skies, temperatures starting out in the upper 30s, topping out in the mid-50s, with winds from the WNW at 3-8mph. The flow from the dam is scheduled to remain at 1000 cfs through at least 11:59 tomorrow evening; the current flow at the Pineville Gauge is 1390 cfs.

The water temperature at 6am was 44F and by 11am it only rose to 45F. There were a dozen anglers on the run today.
