DSR Fishing Report for 31 December 2025 NOTE:  due to the snow and cold temperatures forecasted for the next several days DSR’s hours of operation will be adjusted as follows: -1 January 2026: 9AM-3PM -2 January 2026: 9AM-5:15PM -3 January 2026: No Change 6:45AM-5:15PM -4 January 2026: 9AM-5:15PM -5 January 2026: 9AM-5:15PM   Today's forecast: Periods of snow. High 26F. Winds SW at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of snow 90%. Snow accumulating 3 to 5 inches. The current dam release is 1,000 CFS, where it is projected to remain until 1/3/26 at 8 AM.  The Pineville gauge is currently 1410 CFS as of 3:15pm. The water temperature was not available this morning. A few brave guests ventured down to the run today. Earlier in morning snowfall created slush that made angling difficult; however, the snowfall ceased late morning, and the slush dissipated this afternoon. Angling remained challenging throughout the day with our guests working hard for a few steelhead. Successful Baits & Techniques: Blue egg sacks under floats accounted for steelhead brought to hand. Mottled natural color beads drifted under indicators also accounted for a few bent rods. An angler was also successful getting a tug swinging traditional style steelhead flies in a black/blue pattern. The forecast for tonight is:  Snow this evening will transition to snow showers late. Low near 10F. SSW winds shifting to NW at 15 to 25 mph. Chance of snow 90%. 3 to 5 inches of snow expected. Higher wind gusts possible. The forecast for tomorrow is:  Mostly cloudy with snow flurries and snow showers, especially in the afternoon. High near 15F. Winds NW at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of snow 70%. Snow accumulating 1 to 3 inches. NOTE:  due to the potential for lake effect snow, and other forms of inclement weather conditions during the winter season, please monitor the weather for Pulaski, NY (zip code 13142) before getting on the road. Lake effect snow typically occurs in relatively narrow bands, and that immediately adjacent areas may be clear of snow, therefore look at the forecast and radar for the general area when planning your travel.

29 Dec 2025 full-day DSR fishing report follows. Today's forecast: "A few showers this morning will change to snow showers for the afternoon hours as winds become gusty. Morning high of 40F with temps falling to near 30. Winds SW at 20 to 30 mph. Chance of precip 80%. Snow accumulations less than one inch.". The current dam release is 500 CFS, where it is projected to remain until 12/30/25 at 11:59 PM. The CFS at the Pineville gauge was at 846 at our opening time, and rose to 953 over the course of the day. The water temperature was 35 degrees early this morning, with the water reported as "murky" from recent snowmelt and rains, with visibility only 18" downriver of runoff points, to 3' generally in the remainder of the run. Our guests spread out to all sections of the run today, the largest percentage to the middle section, followed by the lower section, with only a few fishing the upper section. All things considered, all sections fished relatively equally well today. Guests remarked that the wind was "brutal" on the run, even prompting one pair of guests to only brave them for an half-hour before coming back off. The remainder of the guests I spoke to had varied success; about a quarter did not even receive any (discernable) tugs; another quarter hooked up but had difficulty bringing any to hand; and the remaining half scored at most one brought to hand. It was a tough day, all around ... Steelhead were the primary species mentioned today, ranging from the 6 # to 10 # category, some larger in the mix; nearly all were bright chrome, but some showed colored gill plates and lateral color flashes. Successful Baits & Techniques: blue egg sacks, drifted under a bobber, accounted for a fair percentage of fish today, followed by "natural", pink, and white egg sacks. Other baits that worked well today were assorted flies (black Wooly Bugger specifically), 10 or 12 mm chartreuse, or yellow beads rigged under a bobber; and a 3/4 ounce Little Cleo in silver. The forecast for tonight is: "Occasional snow showers. Quite windy. Low around 15F. Winds W at 25 to 35 mph. Chance of snow 70%. Snowfall around one inch. Winds could occasionally gust over 50 mph.". The forecast for tomorrow is: "Cloudy with gusty winds. High 21F. Winds WNW at 25 to 35 mph. Winds could occasionally gust over 50 mph.".
