DSR Fishing Report for 31 December 2025 NOTE:  due to the snow and cold temperatures forecasted for the next several days DSR’s hours of operation will be adjusted as follows: -1 January 2026: 9AM-3PM -2 January 2026: 9AM-5:15PM -3 January 2026: No Change 6:45AM-5:15PM -4 January 2026: 9AM-5:15PM -5 January 2026: 9AM-5:15PM   Today's forecast: Periods of snow. High 26F. Winds SW at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of snow 90%. Snow accumulating 3 to 5 inches. The current dam release is 1,000 CFS, where it is projected to remain until 1/3/26 at 8 AM.  The Pineville gauge is currently 1410 CFS as of 3:15pm. The water temperature was not available this morning. A few brave guests ventured down to the run today. Earlier in morning snowfall created slush that made angling difficult; however, the snowfall ceased late morning, and the slush dissipated this afternoon. Angling remained challenging throughout the day with our guests working hard for a few steelhead. Successful Baits & Techniques: Blue egg sacks under floats accounted for steelhead brought to hand. Mottled natural color beads drifted under indicators also accounted for a few bent rods. An angler was also successful getting a tug swinging traditional style steelhead flies in a black/blue pattern. The forecast for tonight is:  Snow this evening will transition to snow showers late. Low near 10F. SSW winds shifting to NW at 15 to 25 mph. Chance of snow 90%. 3 to 5 inches of snow expected. Higher wind gusts possible. The forecast for tomorrow is:  Mostly cloudy with snow flurries and snow showers, especially in the afternoon. High near 15F. Winds NW at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of snow 70%. Snow accumulating 1 to 3 inches. NOTE:  due to the potential for lake effect snow, and other forms of inclement weather conditions during the winter season, please monitor the weather for Pulaski, NY (zip code 13142) before getting on the road. Lake effect snow typically occurs in relatively narrow bands, and that immediately adjacent areas may be clear of snow, therefore look at the forecast and radar for the general area when planning your travel.
