CFS at the dam 350 at least until midnight tomorrow, CFS at the Pineville gauge remained at 476 all day. Air temperatures started out at 29 degrees Fahrenheit first thing this morning, dropped to the mid-20s for most of the day, peaked at 28 degrees, and will drop to an overnight low of 22 degrees. We started out the morning relatively windy, with alternating periods of complete overcast to partly cloudy and sunny, then around 10 AM the snow squalls began, abruptly announced by a literal roar of high winds sweeping into the area. The snow fell furiously, at times horizontal to the ground, with winds in the 25 to 35 mph range, with even stronger gusts. About an hour later, things calmed down a bit, and the rest of the day we had bands of light snow and winds moving through our area, with intermittent periods of relative calm. Despite these conditions, we had just over an half-dozen guests venture out onto the run, starting at 7:30 AM until 1 PM. Individuals came off the run for short breaks during the late morning, and all but one reported not having hooked into any fish as of that time. They all returned to the run in the early afternoon for the second round. From 3:15 through 5:15 PM all our guests trickled off the run, this time reporting one to three hookups each, with a trio of anglers scoring five Steelhead brought to hand amongst them, the biggest 8#, with a mix of darker and Rainbow Trout colored fish. Egg sacks under a bobber accounted for the majority of fish today. So, all in all a successful day. Tomorrow the forecast is: Mainly cloudy with snow showers around in the morning. High 28F. Winds light and variable. Chance of snow 40%. Snow accumulations less than one inch.
