December 29, 2023

Rain for the better part of the day. Mostly sprinkles with an occasion shower with temperatures in the low 40's made for somewhat unpleasant conditions. Still, this is at the end of December and the fact that we don't have tons of snow on the ground, high snow banks and shelf ice needs to be appreciated. Nearly a dozen anglers fished the run today and those with whom I have spoken with had to work for them. A few anglers that were swinging flies went 0 for 2 (dry line fishing), 0 for one, and 1 for three. The float fishermen faired about the same with reports of one for one, "not a fish", and "high rod" went to a float fisherman that was able to bring 5 fish to hand. The water is scheduled to drop tonight and tomorrow. At 9:00PM this evening the flow will drop from 1500 cfs to 1000 cfs until 9:00AM tomorrow at which point it is scheduled to go to 750 cfs. That should make things interesting.
