A cold start to the morning with temperatures in the mid 30's, and ultimately only reaching into the mid 40's with steady winds keeping the real feel in the 30's. While the temperature change was a rude awakening, and certainly lightened the angling pressure, the fish didn't seem to mind. Most of our anglers trickled in over the course of the morning fishing into the early afternoon. A mix of overcast and just sunshine made kept water temperatures at bay, remaining in the mid 40's throughout the day. Based on the reports we received from our River Patrol and the anglers we spoke with today, the 'good fishing' continues. Today, most of our anglers noted larger fish in the mix, with steady activity throughout the run. Upper sections saw the lightest angling pressure, while middle and lower sections getting the most focus today. Ultimately the middle section continues to prove the most productive for our anglers, but we'll see where the fan favorite lands tomorrow with another reduction in the dam release. At this time due to the current state of the reservoir, the dam release will be adjusted from 285 CFS to 185 CFS tonight at 6:00 PM where it is scheduled to remain until 11:59 PM tomorrow (11/13). Please monitor safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for updated dam release scheduling. REMINDER: DSR's staggered release has concluded as of 10/27. ALL anglers will be released onto the property after check-in. Please see below for our updated as well as upcoming hours of operation, check-in and afternoon pass sale times.
