CFS at the dam 350 until midnight tonight, CFS at the Pineville gauge 482. Overnight we only received about two inches of additional snow. Our morning temperature was 28 degrees Fahrenheit, which turned out to be our high for the day, then the temperature slowly dipped to the mid-20s by early afternoon, where it has hovered for most of the afternoon, before beginning a gradual descent to an eventual overnight low of minus two degrees (there's going to be slush in the river tomorrow morning!). Our skies were overcast all day, with some fairly light winds. Just short of a dozen guests joined us on the run today, trickling in from 7:45 to 10 AM. Between 11 AM and 4 PM almost all of our guests had trickled back off the run. Roughly a third of these guests reported the typical "ones and twos" brought to hand, however, incredibly, fully two thirds of our remaining guests reported impressive double-digits brought to hand. One guest exclaimed "they were everywhere!". All of these fish were Steelhead, some in the plus 10# range, with almost all accounted for by drifting egg sacks or beads under a bobber, with some hitting flies. The middle section seemed to produce better, with the lower and upper sections bracketing with equal results. A common denominator to those who scored double-digits was that they had each covered a lot of ground during the course of their day. In these featured photos Scott (brown jacket) and Keith (tan jacket) are displaying some nice Steelhead they each brought to hand today.  Even Garrett (blue jacket) was able to get out and tie into a Steelhead, on one of his truly rare days off!  The forecast for tomorrow is: Partly cloudy. High 19F. Winds W at 5 to 10 mph.
