December 30, 2025

30 Dec 2025 full-day DSR fishing report follows. NOTE: due to forecasted heavy snow tomorrow, our operating hours for 31 December 2025 have been modified to opening at 9 AM and closing at 3 PM. Today's forecast: "Occasional snow showers. Quite windy. High 21F. Winds WNW at 25 to 35 mph. Chance of snow 70%. Winds could occasionally gust over 40 mph.". The current dam release is 500 CFS, where it is projected to remain until 12/30/25 at 6 PM. At 6 PM 12/3025 the flow will rise to 1000 CFS, where it will remain until 8 AM 01/03/26. The CFS at the Pineville gauge was at 868 at our opening time, and dropped to 843 over the course of the day. The water temperature was not available this morning. There was slush in the water this morning. It should be noted that the increase in CFS will likely flush out the slush quicker each day. A pair of guests went down to the run early this morning, but came up after only an half-hour; they declared that the amount of slush in the water made the run unfishable. Successful Baits & Techniques: not applicable today. The forecast for tonight is: "Cloudy and windy early. Snow showers developing overnight. Low near 20F. Winds WNW at 20 to 30 mph. Chance of snow 40%. Snowfall around one inch. Winds could occasionally gust over 40 mph.". The forecast for tomorrow is: "Periods of snow. High 24F. Winds W at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of snow 90%. 5 to 8 inches of snow expected.". NOTE: due to the potential for lake effect snow, and other forms of inclement weather conditions during the winter season, please monitor the weather site forecasts (use national, area-wide, and local sites) for Pulaski, NY (zip code 13142) before getting on the road; remember that lake effect snow typically occurs in relatively narrow bands, and that immediately adjacent areas may be clear of snow, therefore look at the forecast for the general area as well when planning your travel.
