Winds WNW at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of snow 70%. 1 to 3 inches of snow expected.   The forecast for tomorrow:  Partly cloudy skies in the morning will give way to cloudy skies during the afternoon. A few flurries or snow showers possible. High 23F.

Wednesday, 14 January 2026, full-day DSR fishing report follows. Today's forecast: "Showers this morning, becoming a steady rain during the afternoon hours. High 46F. Winds SSW at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 90%.". The current dam release is 1200 CFS, where it is projected to remain until 11:59 PM 01/15/26. The CFS at the Pineville gauge was at 1570 at our opening time, and only dropped slightly to 1560 over the course of the day. The water temperature was 35 degrees Fahrenheit this morning. There was a steady trickle of guests who went down to the run beginning at opening time this morning, into the very early afternoon. Most started in the middle section and worked down to the lower section, a few went straightaway to the lower section, only one fished the upper section, and a couple fished the whole run top to bottom. The first four guests who came off the run, between 10 AM to noon, reported that they "never even got a tug" . . . one of these guests stated "(I) tried everything" . . . shortly afterwards, guests started coming off the run periodically, with improved reports that ranged from "it was very tough (fishing) today", to "it was OK today". Most in this latter group were able to at least hook-up once or twice, but had difficulty bringing fish to hand. One duo reported outstanding results today, due to a combination of angling experience on this river, total hours spent on the water today, and productive water covered; even they remarked "it was tough today". Steelhead were the only fish reported, a mix of chrome bright and colored-up, nothing out of the ordinary for this time of the year. Successful Baits & Techniques: it was necessary to mix it up today, between egg sacks, beads, and flies, and different colors, to achieve any hook-ups. Chartreuse egg sacks, as well as beads, seemed to be marginally more effective today, with blue egg sacks remaining the mainstay. Pink egg sacks, and other beads of varying colors, particularly yellowish / natural colored, all drifted under a bobber, accounted for fish as well. NOTE: A reminder that our guests must be respectful of other guests' fishing techniques and locations. Some techniques perhaps require greater lengths of fishable water, and guests utilizing those techniques must be cognizant that they may have to shorten their own drifts to respect other guests fishing well downriver of them. At a minimum, our etiquette rule is that you may not fish within one rod's length of another guest, unless that other person agrees to a lesser distance. However, common sense must prevail, to fit the circumstances, and cordial communications is always the key to reaching a mutually acceptable compromise. The forecast for tonight is: "Rain and snow this evening turning to all snow overnight. Low near 20F. Winds NNE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of snow 100%. Snow accumulating 1 to 3 inches.". The forecast for tomorrow is: "Snow during the morning will taper off to light snow during the afternoon. High 24F. Winds WNW at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of snow 80%. 1 to 3 inches of snow expected.". NOTE: due to the potential for lake effect snow, and other forms of inclement weather conditions during the winter season, please monitor the weather site forecasts (use national, area-wide, and local sites) for Pulaski, NY (zip code 13142) before getting on the road; remember that lake effect snow typically occurs in relatively narrow bands, and that immediately adjacent areas may be clear of snow, therefore look at the forecast for the general area as well when planning your travel.

Tuesday, 13 January 2026, full-day DSR fishing report follows. Today's forecast: "Cloudy skies with a few showers this afternoon. High around 40F. Winds SSE at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 30%.". The current dam release is 1200 CFS, where it is projected to remain until 11:59 PM 01/13/26. The CFS at the Pineville gauge was at 1610 at our opening time, and slowly dropped to 1590 over the course of the day. The water temperature was not available this morning. There was a steady trickle of guests who went down to the run beginning at opening time this morning, into the early afternoon. Most started in the middle section and worked down to the lower section, a lesser percentage went straightaway to the lower section, and only a few fished the upper section. The first one off the run, around 9 AM, gave me a thumbs-down on the way out, which set a somewhat ominous tone for what the day would bring . . . however, nobody else came off the run until mid-afternoon, and there were definitely more coming in than leaving - something was "up" . . . apparently the grapevine was thrumming about the fish being very cooperative today as, with two exceptions, each guest subsequently each reported between three to five fish brought to hand, with half again more hookups, mostly Steelhead, with an 18" Brown Trout in the mix. The high stick today was, incredibly, 17 / 30 Steelhead; he fished dawn to dark! The Steelhead were a mix of chrome bright and colored-up. Not a bad day, at all. Successful Baits & Techniques: beads of varying colors, particularly yellowish / natural colored, drifted under a bobber, accounted for half of the fish brought to hand today; egg sacks (when used today), specifically blue ones, some pink, also drifted under a bobber, accounted for the remaining half of the fish today. One guest was swinging a blue bead, and a blue "scup" fly, and did on par with other guests. NOTE: A reminder that our guests must be respectful of other guests' fishing techniques and locations. Some techniques perhaps require greater lengths of fishable water, and guests utilizing those techniques must be cognizant that they may have to shorten their own drifts to respect other guests fishing well downriver of them.

However, common sense must prevail, to fit the circumstances, and cordial communications is always the key to reaching a mutually acceptable compromise. The forecast for tonight is: "Rain and snow this evening then remaining overcast overnight. Low 38F. Winds S at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of precip 80%.". The forecast for tomorrow is: "Rain showers in the morning becoming more intermittent in the afternoon. High 41F. Winds SSW at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 40%.".

Winds SSE at 15 to 25 mph. Chance of rain 90%. Rainfall around a quarter of an inch. Pictured below is Scott with a dandy brown!  One of several connected with by our guests today on the run.

Monday, 5 January 2026, full-day DSR fishing report follows. NOTE: our operating hours will return to normal (6:30 AM through 5:15 PM) effective tomorrow, 6 January 2026. Today's forecast: "Snow this morning will give way to lingering snow showers this afternoon. High 29F. Winds SE at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of snow 80%. Snow accumulating 1 to 3 inches.". The current dam release is 1000 CFS, where it is projected to remain until tonight at 6 PM. At 6 PM tonight the flow will rise to 1200 CFS, where it will remain until 11:59 PM 01/06/26. The CFS at the Pineville gauge was at 1300 at our opening time, and remained there over the course of the day. The water temperature was not available this morning. There wasn't any slush in the water this morning. It should be noted that the increase in CFS will likely flush out any slush quicker each day. Guests went down to the run at opening time this morning, or soon thereafter. You should have been here . . . The first one off the run, who fished in the middle section only, reported an incredible 17 Steelhead brought to hand, of 19 hooked. There was a range of sizes, up to 34" (see picture). The last two guests off the run, at dusk, reported 6 / 11 Steelhead between them (see pictures), and a 17" Brown Trout. The Steelhead were a mix of chrome bright and colored-up. Successful Baits & Techniques: blue egg sacks drifted under a bobber accounted for 99% of the fish today. Featured is Niko, a member of our Guest Services team at the DSR (sunglasses); Mitch, one of our River Patrol (orange hood); and their mutual buddy, Dan (yellow trimmed black hood); each with a magnificent Steelhead. The forecast for tonight is: "Mainly cloudy with snow showers around this evening. Low 24F. Winds SSE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of snow 40%.". The forecast for tomorrow is: "Cloudy skies with periods of rain later in the day. Some mixed winter precipitation possible. High near 35F. Winds SE at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 100%.". NOTE: due to the potential for lake effect snow, and other forms of inclement weather conditions during the winter season, please monitor the weather site forecasts (use national, area-wide, and local sites) for Pulaski, NY (zip code 13142) before getting on the road; remember that lake effect snow typically occurs in relatively narrow bands, and that immediately adjacent areas may be clear of snow, therefore look at the forecast for the general area as well when planning your travel.
