March 5, 2023

A decent day weather-wise. Cloudy with a couple very brief peeks of sun, and temperatures in the mid-to-upper 30's with no wind to speak of. About a dozen anglers joined us today with mixed results. About half of our anglers failed to "touch a fish" and the other half were able to get into a coupe at least. Two anglers that fished the morning were able to bring three Steelhead to hand, An angler that fished for a few hours this afternoon was able to get a Steelhead up top and a brown trout down low. In all instances, fish or no fish, anglers covered lots of water. The snow cover is not too bad (maybe 4 inches of packed heavy snow) so getting around was tiring, but not terrible difficult. The last two anglers off the water accounted for a Brown, a domestic rainbow and two Steelhead (and they were tired) The scheduled water release has yet to be updated (@5:20 PM) and still calls for 350 cfs from the dam. The current flow at Pineville is 476 cfs (where it has been since early this morning which indicates that there is virtually no runoff today.
