We had just under a dozen guests on the run today, some showing up early morning, and a few only fishing the last few hours of daylight.  The flow was reduced to 750 cfs from the dam at 7:00am this morning.  Only a few reports of any hook ups and those were split evenly between steelhead and ever increasing numbers of smallmouth entering the river.  Water temperature was 51 early and rose to around 54 mid day.  Tomorrow the flow will is scheduled to be reduced further to 500 cfs at 7:00 am; we'll have rain / showers for a large part of the day with temperatures starting out and staying in the 50s with light N / NW winds 5-8 mph.  The gauge at Pineville is currently at 980 cfs.

Tomorrow we should have showers during the first half of the day with temperatures in the high 50s increasing to the high 60s by afternoon, with showers diminishing and partly cloudy skies for the remainder of the day with winds from the SW / W, 8-10 mph.
