May 12, 2023

Our warmest day yet, with temperatures reaching into the upper 70's, and just the right amount of overcast to keep things comfortable.  A dozen anglers joined us today, with a majority fishing the morning into the early afternoon trying to beat the heat.  Water temperatures today began at approximately 56 F, and reach 61 F by noon.  We had quite a range of species reported being caught today, to include; a few steelhead, an abundant amount Smallmouth Bass, a Longnose Gar, and a couple of redhorse suckers.  With the number of steelhead lessening each day, its great to see we have some more of our summer time residents making their way back into the river.  The dam release was dropped to 185 CFS today, where it is currently scheduled until 11:59 MP tonight (5/12).  Please check safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for updated dam release information.
