We officially broke the 70 degree mark today!  With the water back up to 1200 CFS the crowd was a bit lighter today, and most fishing the morning given the temperatures and lack of overcast today. Reports from anglers today were drastically different then yesterday's reports.  Fishing proved to be quite tough today with the majority reporting a skunk.  A few anglers guided in a drift boat took the cake today, with multiple fish landed, all drop backs. Water temperatures began around 42 F, and crept into the 50's by mid afternoon today.  The dam release is scheduled to increase again from 1200 CFS to 1650 CFS tonight (4/13) at 9:00 PM, where it is scheduled to remain until tomorrow night (4/14) at 11:59 PM.  Please be sure to check safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for updated information ahead of any upcoming trips!
