November 17, 2023

The rain held off until late morning, and has been fairly steady since.  Thankfully, we had another warm day in the upper 50's, so the rain was tolerable.  With the warmest temperatures we've seen in a few weeks, we also saw our our largest turnout so far this week, but dissipated rather quickly given the conditions.  The release from the dam remained at 500 CFS today.  While we hoped the consistent release might turn things on a bit, it hasn't seemed to do so.  Most anglers we spoke with today indicated they had a rather tough day from top to bottom, and a majority came up empty handed in their outings.  Only a couple of our anglers reported multiple fish landed.  Hopefully with temperatures dropping back down close to freezing by sunrise tomorrow, we'll see the activity pick back up.  The current dam release is scheduled to remain at 500 CFS until tonight (11/17) at 11:59 PM.  Please check safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for update dam release information.
