December 18, 2023

With the anticipated rain, last night the dam release was increased from 500 CFS to 1500 CFS where it remained for today.  Needless to say, given the strong winds and increased flows, things were a bit tricky today to say the least.  A few diehard anglers decided to take advantage of the low pressure day, and fished for the greater part of the day.  Unfortunately the conditions just weren't in the angler's favor.  Water clarity was noted as a bit of an issue as well, with significant run off.  Today's rain is expected to transition into snow tomorrow morning, with temperatures steadily dropping below freezing. Currently, the release from the dam is scheduled to remain at 1500 CFS until 11:59 PM tonight (12/18).  Please check safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for updated dam release information.  DSR will be closed to fishing if the dam release goes above 2000 CFS.
