While the dam release went down to 750 CFS, run off from last night and today's rain has brought the flows up quite a bit, with a reported flow of 1600 CFS at the Pineville gauge currently.  About a dozen anglers joined us today despite the higher water, and a few managed to bring a fish or two to hand.  Given the difficulty of the higher water, and increasing winds, most anglers came off the run by the afternoon.  With the significant run off from the rain and snow melt, the dam release is currently scheduled to increase tonight at 6:00 PM from 750 CFS to 1500 CFS.  With run off steadily snowballing, there is certainly possibility of an adjustment to the release.  Please check safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for updated dam release information.  Please note that DSR will close to fishing with a dam release of 2000 CFS or greater.
