The water is up, but it didn't deter a little over a dozen anglers from taking advantage of another mild day.  The release from the dam was adjusted last night from 350 CFS to 750 CFS,  anticipating snow melt with temperatures inching into the 50's this week.  Despite the surge, the water has maintained its clarity only adding some cold snowmelt into the equation.  Water temperatures still remain in the 30's, with a recorded temperature of 35 F this morning.  Again, it seems like most of our anglers were able to bring at least one fish to hand, and some a few more, with a majority of the fish caught being fresh unspawned fish.  Anticipating continued melt, and most likely a bit of rain at the end of the week, the dam release will be updated tonight (3/21) to 1200 CFS at 11:59 PM where it is scheduled to remain until tomorrow night (3/22) at 11:59 PM.  Please be sure to check safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for updated dam release information ahead of your next trip!
