Fishing Report for 04/24/2025-We had a couple dozen guests fish the run today, from first light to twilight on the entire expanse of the run.  The results, somewhat surprisingly, were down from yesterday with only a few fish brought to hand or hooked briefly and lost.  Our water temperature at midday was 49 degrees under mostly cloudy skies, with temperatures that reached the low 70s. Friday’s outlook is for continued cloudy skies, temperatures starting around 50 degrees and increasing to the low 70s, with light E / SE winds, and a slight chance of a late afternoon shower.  The biggest change started this afternoon with the flow from the dam being reduced from 1000 cfs down to 750 cfs at 2:00 pm, which will remain in effect overnight and then another reduction down to 500 cfs at 7:00am Friday morning.  The Pineville gauge is currently at 1020 cfs and dropping.

Fishing Report for 04/23/2025-Bright sunshine with temperatures starting off around 37 degrees, increasing to the mid-50s through the day, with light WNW winds made for a beautiful day on the run for our two dozen guests that joined us.  Water flows were again 1000 cfs from the dam, (1380 cfs at Pineville), with water temperatures ranging from 45 at dawn to around 49 degrees by mid-afternoon. Our guests fished primarily with center pin rigs, under floats with beads or egg sacs, along with a pair of Spey Fisherman, from the upper middle portions to the very bottom of the run.  Success was again strong today, with similar numbers of fish hooked / landed as yesterday.  Most caught or hooked more than (1) steelhead, (no reports of Atlantics so far), with the majority of fish showing signs of healing up from recent spawning. Tomorrow’s outlook is for mostly to partly cloudy skies, temperatures starting out around 45 degrees, creeping up to the low 70s, with winds 6-8 mph, fluctuating from ESE to SE and eventually to SSW.  There is a slight chance of a brief shower at midday. Once again the flow from the dam is scheduled to remain at 1000 cfs through at least 11:59 tomorrow evening; the gauge at Pineville remaining relatively unchanged at 1370 as of 5:00pm.

Another cool start to the day tomorrow with temperatures in the high 20s, getting up to the mid-40s by late afternoon, mostly cloudy skies, little chance of any precipitation, and light winds from the N / NW. The flow from the dam is projected to stay at 1700 through at least 11:59pm tomorrow evening; the Pineville gauge is currently at 1970 cfs.

Fishing Report for 03/18/2025-We had a handful of anglers join us today on the run, with all but one fishing the morning hours and departing around 1pm.  It was a beautiful day to be on the water with mostly sunny skies, little wind and no precipitation.  With the warm temperatures over the weekend, coupled with some heavy rain on Sunday, we have close to 2000 cfs here primarily due to the heavy runoff from the streams below the dam.  Whether it was the flow, bright sunlight, or a combination of both, our anglers had a tough time getting more than a hook up or two each, with none brought to hand.  There were sightings of several Steelhead ‘finning’ on the smaller side branches of the main run, indicating that spawning is not far off, if not actually underway in portions of the entire river. Tomorrow we’ll have mostly sunny skies, with temperatures starting off in the low 40s around first light increasing to an almost balmy 68 degrees with very light S /SE wind, and little chance of any precipitation. The flow from the dam is scheduled to remain at 1250 cfs through 11:59pm tomorrow evening; the gauge at Pineville is currently at 1890 cfs and relatively steady.

There were no guests on the run today. CFS at the dam started at 1500 this morning, and was dropped to 1250 as of 3 PM this afternoon, where it is scheduled to remain until midnight tomorrow (watch it carefully, over the next few days, as we still have snowpack melting and on Thursday we are forecasted to get rain all day). CFS at the Pineville gauge has been gradually falling all day, and is currently at 2130. Our air temperatures have hovered in the mid-30s all day, and is currently gradually falling towards our overnight low of 24 degrees Fahrenheit. We've generally been overcast to partly cloudy, with light and variable winds. The forecast for tomorrow is: "Plentiful sunshine. High near 55F. Winds SSE at 5 to 10 mph." By the way, there are other types of fishing starting to pick up in our immediate area due to spawning activity: very large Yellow Perch, Bluegills and Pumpkinseed, Bullhead catfish, Crappie, are moving into shallows, and are fishable from the shore or small boats in local ponds, lakes, streams and rivers. Soon, the Smallmouth Bass will be coming into the run, and there will be truly large Northern Pike cruising the estuary. Our lodges are generally open for booking during this timeframe, at very reasonable rates, and would be ideal for a quick family getaway with the kids being able to keep occupied.

Fishing Report for 03/13/2025-We had (16) anglers join us on the run today, all showing up  throughout the morning and most fishing ‘till just past noon with our last anglers departing around 5:00pm, working the traditional upper stretches all the way down to the lowest reaches of the run. The comments were almost identical to the last few days; everyone worked hard for a fish or two, primarily using egg sacks under floats, or egg imitations, along with a few squirmy worms, as well as a pair of steadfast Spey anglers. About two-thirds of the fish caught were fairly fresh, and the remainder colored up fairly well. Tomorrow the weather will again be above freezing at dawn, climbing to the upper 50s, with mostly sunny skies, and winds 6-10 mph from the SE.   The flow from the dam is currently at 750 cfs due to bump up to 1000 cfs tonight at 8:00pm through 8pm tomorrow evening, then increase again to 1500 cfs at 8:00pm tomorrow night through 11:59pm Friday evening.

Fishing Report for 03/06/2025-Once again we had a handful of anglers join us on the run starting mid-morning.  The only angler I was able to speak with today fished the upper middle and lower middle of the run without success.  The wind picked up around 2pm along with fairly heavy snow flurries that are still coming down as this report is being written.  For tomorrow, the temperature will range from the upper 20s at dawn only reaching the low 30s by late afternoon, accompanied by strong W/NW winds from 17-25 mph, with a slight chance of any precipitation.  Somewhat surprisingly, the flow from the dam was reduced at 3pm today to 500 cfs where it is scheduled to stay until 8:00am tomorrow morning, when it will be further reduced to 350 cfs through tomorrow evening at 11:59pm. The flow at the Pineville gauge is now 1140 cfs.

Fishing Report for 03/05/2025-We had a handful of guests fish the run today, all of them swinging flies in the middle sections.  Each had a fish on if not landed; I spoke to the guest who was fortunate enough to land his steelhead and said it was completely chrome, not colored up at all. With the temperature pushing 50 degrees today and a moderate amount of showers, there was some reduction in our snowpack, but as of 5:15pm the warmer temperatures and precipitation hadn’t increased any of the feeder streams to a great extent.  For tomorrow, temperatures should remain above freezing, in the mid-40s, gradually decreasing through the day ending up in the high 20s by nightfall.  Winds will be light, around 6-10 mph from the S/SW in the morning, then become increasingly stronger, 15-20 mph, from W/NW by late afternoon with a chance of snow flurries.   The flow from the dam is scheduled to remain at 1200 cfs through at least 11:59pm tomorrow night; (please continue to check https://www.safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill or our DSR site if planning on coming from any distance away to fish tomorrow as its possible with rain scheduled through this evening the flow from the dam might increase.)  The flow from the Pineville Gauge is currently 1500 cfs.

Fishing Report for 02/26/2025-We may be about (3) weeks from ‘official spring’, but with the first reports of the year from our guests of significant hatches of black stone flies along the banks of the run, we’ll take it! Approximately 20 guests joined us today and the activity certainly seemed to have picked up from yesterday. Our guests fished from top to bottom, (the lower portions still have some shelf ice that is mushy; please be careful if you plan on fishing in that area in the new future), and every single guest reported at least one fish brought to hand, with several anglers in the six or seven range landed, including three browns. Most steelhead caught were chrome with little if any coloring. Tomorrow looks to be another good day weather wise with temperatures above freezing at dawn, moving up to the 40 degree range, light SSE winds, @8-12mph, and a moderate to strong possibility of showers / rain in the morning, possibly changing over to snow flurries in the late afternoon. The flow from the dam is scheduled to remain at 300 cfs through at least 11:59pm tomorrow evening; the Pineville gauge is currently at 430 cfs

Fishing Report for 2/25/2025-The run saw just under a dozen anglers today, with some starting early, and one pair not hitting the water until 2pm. The fishing success seemed to be less today compared with yesterday, (snow run-off perhaps), with numbers of fish brought to hand mostly 1 or 2 and in a few cases none, with beads or egg sacks under a float being the prominent technique, along with swinging flies. Tomorrow the temperature looks to stay just above freezing most of the day with light WNW winds, and a slight chance of flurries mid-morning.

CFS at the dam 300 (until at least midnight tomorrow), CFS at the Pineville gauge hovered just above 400. Morning air temperature started at 29 degrees Fahrenheit, and over the course of the entire day only climbed to 32 degrees as our probable "high". It was overcast all day, with occasional light winds interspersed with periods of calm. We started the morning with light snowfall, which developed into what looked like frozen mist, all of which continued to fall until around 1 PM when it stopped, having resulted in only a few more inches of accumulation. We had a couple more than a "baker's dozen" of guests joining us on the run today, arriving at dawn until as late as 1:15 PM. Three guests came off the run around 11:15 AM, reporting no real slush in the water, although breakaway chunks of ice were floating down the river, and ice shelves are getting slushy and spongy; be careful going out on them, and watching for large chunks if you are in the water. Each of these guests hooked into fish, with two bringing ones and twos to hand. The next pair of guests didn't come off the run until almost 3 PM, and reported no success mostly swinging streamers with Spey rods. Around 3:45 PM five more guests came off the run in quick succession, with all but one hooking into fish, with between one and three fish reported. As of this report, there are still an handful of guests on the run, but I'm sure they will have similar, perhaps slightly better reports due to time spent on the water. Steelhead predominated today, with egg sacks and beads, under bobbers, producing for most of our guests. A good tip was to change-up the colors until one starts working. The upper section produced slightly better than the middle section. Overnight low will be 24 degrees, with the forecast for tomorrow being: "Overcast. High around 45F. Winds SSE at 10 to 20 mph."

Our air temperatures ranged from a morning low of 14 degrees, to a "high" of 19 degrees Fahrenheit. It has been mostly overcast, with light and variable winds. We started off our morning with a fresh 2" of fluffy lake-effect snow, and it has continued to snow sporadically during the morning hours before settling into a light snowfall most of the afternoon into the evening, with a couple more inches of accumulation. Our first pair of guests ventured onto the run at 8:30 AM, but were up at 11 AM with reports that there was too much slush in the water to be able to fish. Our next set of guests checked out the river at 1:30 PM and decided to fish since it appeared to be clear of slush at that point. These two came off the run at 5:15 PM and stated they had fished from the upper section down into the middle section (all fishable water), without any success. Our forecast for tonight is more snow, and an overnight low of 14 degrees. Our forecast for tomorrow is: Flurries or snow showers possible early. Cloudy skies. High 31F. Winds SW at 10 to 15 mph.

Fishing Report for 02/16/2025-The Weather certainly lived up to ‘Wintry Mix’ as we had rain, ice pellets, and finally snow to start things off here this morning.  Our first guest went down to the river at 9:30am followed by our second two hours later.  Our first guest returned just before 3pm going 2/2 on colored up steelhead from the lower portion fishing egg sacs; the second guest was 2/4 steelhead, colored up, under egg sacs and put some distance in fishing the top to through the entire middle run. The snow is supposed to continue thru the remainder of the day and into Monday morning as the winds switch from the E/SE to the N/NW, and the temperature drops from the high twenties to the mid-teens by daybreak.  It will be a blustery day on the run tomorrow, with winds between 20-30 mph from the W/NW. The flow from the dam, currently at 295 cfs is scheduled to remain there until at least 11:59pm tomorrow evening; the Pineville gauge is currently reading 436 cfs. WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 1 AM EST MONDAY... ...LAKE EFFECT SNOW WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 1 AM MONDAY TO 6 AM EST WEDNESDAY...   * WHAT...For the Winter Weather Advisory, mixed precipitation. Additional snow accumulations 2 to 4 inches and ice accumulations around a few hundredths of an inch. For the Lake Effect Snow Warning, heavy lake effect snow expected.

Fishing Report for 02/15/2025-Starting the day off in the mid-teens  is becoming the norm here, or at least it feels that way, accompanied by overcast skies and winds from the E/SE 10-15mph.  We’ve had about a dozen guests join us today, with about half of them still out as this report is written.  For the anglers that I spoke with upon departing the consensus was fishing was a bit tougher, (for most), than the last few days regardless of the method used which included floating with an indicator and beads or egg sacs, bottom bouncing, and swinging.  A couple of fish hooked and brought to hand was the number that I heard most. The exceptions were a pair of anglers who ventured down to the lower part of the river and went 5/7 with most fish being colored up. We’ll see the temperature continue to rise into the 30s through the night with light snow continuing, eventually projected to become freezing rain around mid-morning through late afternoon before turning back to snow around sunset.  Winds tomorrow will be from the E/SE 12-16 mph until the colder air and snow moves back in when they shift to the N/NW. The flow from the dam today was 295 cfs and it is scheduled to stay at that rate until at least 11:59pm tomorrow evening.  The gauge at Pineville is reading 419 cfs.

Fishing Report for 02/14/2025-Cloudy skies, temperatures in the mid to upper teens, and moderate westerly winds greeted us at first light this morning.  Some of our anglers were on the run by first light and the remainder joined us by 10:00am.  The first angler off the run had the high rod for the day, and excellent day, hooking and landing multiple fish from the middle through the lower portions, using a center pin and egg sack. The best news was that he hooked a fish in each hole he tried, and the majority were still chrome with very little coloration.  The remainder of the guests all hooked fish in the middle portions and commented on many of them being chrome.  For tomorrow, starting off the weekend, temperatures will be in the upper teens, rising to the mid-twenties, with winds from the E / SE 7-12 mph; the chance of precipitation is low in the morning, increasing in the afternoon with light snow. The flow from the dam is currently 295 cfs where it’s scheduled to stay through at least 11:59pm tomorrow evening.  The gauge at Pineville is currently 425 cfs.

CFS at the dam 350 until midnight the 10th of February, CFS at the Pineville gauge remained at 476 throughout the day. We started the day with about six inches of new, fluffy, lake effect snow, and an air temperature of 27 degrees Fahrenheit. Near sunrise the temperature dropped suddenly to 21 degrees, then laboriously climbed to 29 degrees by mid-afternoon, before now beginning a slow drop to our forecasted overnight low of 19 degrees. The morning alternated between fully overcast, and partly cloudy with diffuse sunshine, before clouding over completely by mid-afternoon. About that time, we experienced a beginning of a light snowfall, which gradually intensified to now near whiteout conditions. Our forecast is calling for up to 16" of new snow areawide through 4 AM Tuesday morning, but the nature of lake effect is narrow bands of snow with little snowfall outside of the bands, so take that with a grain of salt. Today has been a rare day of absolute calm, without even a slight breeze, the entire day. Nine guests ventured onto the run today, joining us from early morning until mid-afternoon. The first one off the run, for a break, reported a nice Brown Trout, before he headed back down. Over the course of 12:30 through 5:30 PM roughly half of these guests reported having brought to hand two to three Steelhead each, with the other half reporting four to six each. The fish ranged from 5# to just over 10#, with some darker fish, some colored up, and (good news) a couple that were bright chrome.  Beads under a bobber slightly outperformed eggs under a bobber today.  No one part of the river seemed to outproduce any other, but successful anglers did report covering ground.  All in all, a good day to be on the run, continuing with the streak of very good Steelhead fishing this winter. The forecast for tomorrow is: Cloudy skies with afternoon snow showers. High 26F. Winds WNW at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of snow 60%. Snow accumulations less than one inch.  Featured is Ben, with the Brown Trout he brought to hand earlier this morning.

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.

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.

CFS at the dam started at 750, then dropped to 350 at 3 PM, where it will remain until at least midnight tomorrow. CFS at the Pineville gauge dropped from 989 to 910 over the course of the day. Air temperatures started just below freezing this morning, gradually climbed to our high of 38 degrees Fahrenheit late afternoon, and is slowly dropping to our forecasted overnight low of 21 degrees. We have been overcast all day, with very light winds, and a steady light drizzle which developed in the afternoon. A few more than a score of guests joined us on the run today, trickling in from sunrise to mid-afternoon. Around 1 PM guests started leaving the run, continuing to come up until dusk. Fully two-thirds of our guests got into fish, predominately Steelhead but also an 18" Brown Trout. The Steelhead ranged from typical 5-6# up to in excess of 10#, with a variety spanning chrome, dark, and colored like a domestic rainbow trout. There were more than a few of our guests that got into double-digits, however the typical guest was able to bring from one to five fish to hand. Those who worked a larger portion of the run were, typically, more successful than those who fished only specific areas. Egg sacks and beads drifted under bobbers accounted for most hook-ups, although egg sacks bounced on the bottom was also successful. A pink worm produced some fish. Tomorrow's forecast is: Cloudy skies early will become partly cloudy later in the day. High 24F. Winds NW at 10 to 15 mph.

Fishing Report for 1/29/2025-We had about ½ dozen anglers fish the run today, mostly starting in the early morning hours, finishing up just past noon, along with one angler who fished the last three hours of daylight.  Everyone got into some Steelhead today with numbers of fish brought to hand between 2 and 7; a good day for those willing to put up with 18-25 mph winds.  Tomorrow we’ll trade off those higher winds for chillier temperatures, starting around 10 degrees but climbing to the mid-20s by the close of day, with a light to moderate chance of any precipitation and light winds, 3-7 mph switching from the N/NW to the S/SW as the day wears on.  The flow from the dam is again scheduled to maintain 1000 cfs thru 11:59pm tomorrow evening; the Pineville gauge is currently reading 1310 cfs.

A small group of guests came off the run at 1:30 PM, having fished a couple of hours in the upper section, swinging chartreuse glo-bugs, and reported a "couple of Steelhead", the largest a 27" male. They reported shelf ice, some chunks of ice drifting downriver, but no slush in the water. Near dusk a few more guests came off the run, reporting having brought to hand two Steelhead out of three total floating pink jigs under a bobber in the middle section.

He reported there was ice floating down the river, but slush wasn't really any problem. An anti-icing product from our tackle shop solved his problem with icing-up, he reported later when he came off the run. Our last guest, who came off the run near dusk, reported that he was able to bring one Steelhead to hand, but stated "I worked for it!". Our overnight temperature will be 7 degrees Fahrenheit.

It was overcast all day, with very light breezes, and sporadic bands of very light snow that briefly fell without any significant accumulation; we remain at about 3" to 4" of snow on the ground. Roughly half of our daily angler limit of guests arrived today, trickling in from just after opening until as late as 1 PM. The few guests, in the first group who started checking off the run at 1 PM, until 3 PM, fished only a couple of hours each, but were each still able to bring a couple of Steelhead to hand, in the 5 # range. There was a lull until near 4 PM, then anglers started coming off the run in fairly quick succession, near dusk, reporting an half-dozen to double digit Steelhead, most in the 5# range, with a couple in the 10# range. An often heard comment was "It was a good day!", with "One right after the other!" a very rarely heard comment by one late check-in guest. The Steelhead ranged from chrome through typical and into beginning to color up. Egg sacks, under bobbers, or bounced on the bottom, seemed to be the favored "go-to" techniques today, producing all of the fish reported, excepting one guest who was also double-digit successful with both eggs and beads, as well as swinging an egg sucking leach fly.  It should be noted that, although there was negligible slush in the water today, there were chunks of ice floating down the river, causing hazards to anyone standing or wading in the water, and the chunks have choked the river to the point that below the Tree Hole is unfishable (essentially, from the Upper Clay downriver).  Tomorrow's forecast is: Variably cloudy with snow showers.

We had an handful of guests join us on the run today, checking in from mid-morning through mid-afternoon. Initial reports, from those guests taking a break mid-afternoon and then returning for another try, indicated slush still in the water as of mid-afternoon, gradually thawing out, with ice having built-up into a clot just below the Meadow. Nobody had more than a tug or two at the time of initially coming up. After having ventured back down then up, this time they reported that they each had been able to hook into a few fish, that they were unable to bring to hand, in the middle section. The specific comment was "They're there!". The last few guests, having been the last to check-in this afternoon, came off the run after dark. An incredible report: both had double-digit hookups, and brought Steelhead to hand in the 9-10# range, drifting egg sacks in the middle to upper sections!

CFS at the dam 750 through at least midnight tonight, CFS at the Pineville gauge 1350, water temperature 36 degrees Fahrenheit, water clarity was OK - air temperatures hovered in the high 30s, it was overcast and drizzly, with fairly strong sustained winds and occasional gusts, throughout the day - despite the conditions, nearly two dozen guests joined us on the run today, trickling in from just after opening until early afternoon - as these guests began leaving at noon, and into the hours near dusk, reports were positive in that almost all guests hooked into fish, although only roughly three quarters of those who were lucky enough to hook up were able to actually bring the fish to hand - the three exceptions to getting any tugs were two admitted novices "learning" and a self-described "net man" - featured is Stuart with a sample of the Steelhead he brought to hand today - they ranged from "cookie-cutter" chrome to some hefty fish that appear to be domestics - overnight low will be 28 degrees, with about an inch of snow - the forecast for tomorrow is: Partly to mostly cloudy and windy. A few flurries or snow showers possible. Temps nearly steady in the low to mid 30s. Winds W at 20 to 30 mph (winds will increase as the day progresses).

Fishing Report 30 December 2024-The water temperature today was 35F. The weather today remained overcast throughout the day, with temperatures in the 40s, including some mist / sprinkles.  Fishing was tougher today than yesterday was the overwhelming theme from our guests as they departed the run.  The lower and middle portions of the run had the heaviest angler activity, but most anglers worked hard for a tug and only a few brought a fish to hand. Tomorrow we’ll see mostly cloudy skies, temperatures in the upper 30s to mid-40s, light S /SE winds under 10mph with little chance of precipitation. 750 cfs from the dam is scheduled through 11:59pm 12/31/2024.   With the Angler Limit at 30 per day, purchase your daily pass online.

CFS 750 at the dam until at least midnight tomorrow, CFS at the Pineville gauge 1030 - air temperatures started at 41 F and climbed to an incredible 52 F degrees by the end of the day - skies were overcast, with light to moderate, variable, winds all day - we flirted with our limit of 30 guests, between those checking in just before opening and into the mid-afternoon, balanced out by those leaving the run throughout the day - the pattern of reporting, for those that left the run after only a few hours of fishing in the morning, was that they had not met with any success, regardless of where they had fished - however, this changed quite dramatically in the early afternoon and through dusk, as those that had left earlier in the morning came back for "round two", and those that had gutted it out for the day, began to trickle off the run - nearly everyone of the afternoon crew was able to get into Steelhead, with some duos nearing double digits between them - for the most part, the Steelhead were "cookie cutter" sized, in the smaller four to six pound range, with eggs and beads accounting for these fish, and the lower section producing the largest majority, followed distantly by the upper section - the most successful guests covered a lot of territory, "slipping and dipping" (fishing briefly in a lot of small , specific, spots on the run) - overnight low will be 45 F - tomorrow's forecast is: Cloudy skies with periods of light rain later in the day. High 48F. Winds SW at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 70%.

Happy holidays everyone and Merry Christmas to all those celebrating! We had a few anglers join us this morning for a short outing as we closed at 1pm today. All our guests indicated that they had successful outings and enjoyed the milder temperatures, overcast skies, and light wind. Of the fish brought to hand, all were indicated to be steelhead in 3-6lb range. Our guests also indicated that there was significant shelf ice in a number of areas and it was beginning to break apart. Anglers observed that the shelf ice was roughly 6-10” above the water’s current surface at the 750cfs release due to the ice establishing higher up the bank during the previous 1,500cfs release. With these types of icy conditions, please use an abundance of caution when traversing the river’s banks and while wading.

Snow

Heavy snow and strong winds made for a tough day on the water.  Light angling pressure overall, with just a handful of anglers joining us given the conditions. The anglers that did join us today, fished the majority of the day despite the rather brutal wind and snow.  With a considerable amount of time spent on the water, most of these anglers reported a successful outings, but nothing was easy.  A steady West-Northwest wind at 20 mph, with gusts of 36 mph certainly isn't ideal.  Most angling efforts seemed concentrated in the middle sections today, offering the most refuge from the elements.  At this time the dam release is scheduled to remain at 195 CFS until 11:59 PM tonight (12/4). Please monitor safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for updated dam release scheduling. REMINDER: DSR's staggered release has concluded as of 10/27.

Off and on snowfall coupled with driving winds made for a tough day on the water.   While conditions weren't ideal, most of our anglers persevered, fishing from the early morning into the late afternoon.  Those anglers that covered ground proved to be the most successful today, with efforts wide spread today, but light angling pressure overall.  The lower sections were reported to be the most productive today, with the middle section a close second.  Forecasts continue to indicate possible snow through the night and into the morning, with 10-15 MPH and gusts up to 30 MPH.  At this time the dam release is scheduled to remain at 195 CFS until 11:59 PM tonight (12/4).

Snow fall continued from last night into the morning, with most of the accumulation coming from last night, and some off and on snow showers throughout the day. Despite the conditions, angling pressure was greater today, with most of anglers joining us first thing this morning and fishing into the early afternoon.  Based on the reports we received, today was another good day, with most anglers calling it quits because of the cold.  The middle and lower sections received the greatest attention, again with little reported in the upper sections.  At this time the dam release is scheduled to remain at 195 CFS until 11:59 PM tonight (12/2).

Some light snow in the morning that barely accumulated on the ground before the sun came out this afternoon and melted it away. A bit chilly to start the day, but temperatures in the high 20's is temperatures that we should expect for this time of year. Reports from our anglers that fished today were very positive. The one expression that captures the day was "it was lights out." Nearly everyone was able to get into multiple fish and, clearly, some were fortunate to be in the right spot, at the right time, and doing the right thing. We'll wait and see what happens overnight with the snow that has been hold north of us. Hopefully it stays there and tomorrow should be another excellent day on the water. This is really shaping up to be an excellent Steelhead year. Water from the dam remains at 195cfs and the flow at Pineville is 286cfs

CFS at the dam remains at 195, CFS at the Pineville gauge 308 - we started the morning just below freezing, with the temperature only climbing a couple of degrees throughout the day - winds started light and variable, but gained in strength to a fairly brisk WSW wind - we only had periodic, very light and short lived flurries of snow, with the lake effect band hovering just North of us - quite a few guests ventured out starting early this morning - as they trickled back in throughout the afternoon, reports were that, with two exceptions, all the guests I spoke with had connected with at least some, if not respectable numbers, of fresh Steelhead - one father commented that he didn't hook any fish himself, but thoroughly enjoyed watching his young son hook into a few - a nice Brown Trout was brought to hand by a lucky angler - tomorrow the forecast is: "Cloudy with snow developing during the afternoon. High 34F. Winds SW at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of snow 70%."

Rain in the morning, then overcast skies until around noon when the sun made an effort to emerge, and a cold rain to end the day. Perfect Steelhead weather. Except for the wind which blew pretty hard out of the West all day. Made things a bit of a challenge for our anglers but, hopefully, it will push some more fish up into the run. In spite of the wind, all anglers that I spoke with couldn't wipe the smile off of their faces. All had what was described as a "great", "excellent", and/or "excellent day. It was a rewarding day to be a Steelhead fisherman today. The posted release for the dam remains at 195cfs and the current flow at the Pineville gauge is 313cfs Tomorrow's forecast calls for temperature in the low 40's, breezy with some snow showers (total accumulation 1-3")

Overcast skies for the better part of the day although the sun did make a brief appearance during the afternoon. Early wind subsided and didn't present much of a problem for out anglers as they were able to find shelter during the early morning when the wind was the strongest. Another good day for Steelhead on the run and while I did not speak with all anglers as they left the run, those that I did indicated that there are good numbers of Steelhead and everyone was able to get into a fish or two. It might have been the appearance of the sun as fishing (while good this morning) picked up in the afternoon, particularly in the mid-section of the run. Center-pinners, traditional fly and two-handed fly fishermen were all happy today. Water from the dam remains at 195cfs and at Pineville the flow is 318cfs

The snow that occurred this morning missed us as we received (much needed) rain instead. Combined with the colder temperatures and wind it made conditions rather unpleasant for our anglers (Even for Steelhead fishermen). The sun did come out around noon and the rain stopped which was a good thing, but by that time a good numbers of anglers had been driven off the river. Reports this afternoon were that the rain was sufficient to bring the water level up nicely, but it was also sufficient enough to stain the water considerably. That pretty much shut down any success that the anglers had up to that point and while it begin to clear late this afternoon, there was still some discoloration. Given we haven't received any additional rain this afternoon and none is being forecast for overnight, I would expect the water to clear by morning. In that the higher water may have brought more fish into the run, tomorrow should be a good day on the run. We'll see what tomorrow brings. Water remains at 195cfs from the dam and the water at Pineville has risen to 400cfs (which would make it closed to 500cfs at the DSR

Well, we got some rain, but not quite what we had hoped for.  Off and on showers over the course of the day mixed with temperatures in the 40's made for a rather damp and cold day on the water.  While conditions weren't necessarily optimal, it certainly lessened the angling pressure.  A majority of our anglers joined us first thing this morning and fished into the early afternoon.  Overall, reports from the anglers we spoke with indicated a productive day, but not the numbers we saw earlier in the week.  Anglers fishing the middle sections saw the most success, with the lower section being the second favorite today.  Upper sections continue to see minimal pressure, with little reported.  Today, predominantly steelhead were reported with a number of browns reported in the mix.  At this time the dam release is scheduled to remain at 195 CFS until 11:59 PM tomorrow (11/22).

A touch warmer today, with temperatures starting in the mid 40's and reaching into the mid 50's over the course of the day. A lack of wind and plenty of overcast made for optimal conditions on the river.  Despite the conditions, reports from our anglers and River patrol pointed to lighter activity throughout the run.  Upper and lower sections saw extremely light angling pressure, with most efforts concentrated in the middle sections.  Most of our anglers continued to report greater activity in the morning hours, with the sun really shutting things down in combination with the low water conditions.  Crossing our fingers we'll actually see some of the forecasted rain for the remainder of the week.

Sunshine until about noon and then the clouds moved in and gave us overcast skies for the balance of the day. Overall, the fishing was reported slower than it has been for the past several days. That being said, the fishing over this past week has been very, very good so a day of "just OK" fishing needs to be taken with a grain of salt. Early morning water temperature of 40 degrees probably had something to do with the slower action. With so little water being released from the dam, overnight low temperatures can impact water temperature which, of course, impacts the fish. Numerous individuals did indicate that they saw good numbers of fish in the run, they were just being stubborn. Tomorrow's another day. Water from the dam remains at 195cfs and at Pineville 244cfs. Hopefully the rain that is in the forecast for latter next week will materialize nd will bring us some much needed rain.

Temperatures rose ever so slightly, but the winds today made the real feel much colder than yesterday.  With complete overcast and steady wind, things just never warmed up.  Low water combined with the lack of sun water dropped temperatures from a recorded 44 F this morning, to 41 F by this afternoon.  Based on the reports we received from our River Patrol and the anglers we spoke with today, fishing wasn't quite as productive as the past few days, but overall still a good day on the water for most of our anglers.  Upper sections of the property saw little angling pressure, while middle and lower sections continued to report the most angling pressure and success.  Today, predominantly steelhead were reported with a few brown trout.  At this time the dam release is scheduled to remain at 195 CFS until 11:59 PM tonight (11/15).  Please monitor safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for updated dam release scheduling.  Attention Guests : Tomorrow (11/15), DSR's hours of operation will be adjusted to an opening time of 6:15 AM and a closing time of 5:15 PM .  ALL anglers will be released onto the property after check-in.  Please see below for our updated hours of operation.

Another cold start at 28 F, with a thick layer of frost coating everything this morning.  A cold overnight mixed with low water brought water temperatures down to a reported 42 F this morning, barely budging over the course of the day with a reported 43 F this afternoon.  Reports from our River Patrol and the Anglers we spoke with over the course of the day indicated a successful morning on the water, but a rather difficult afternoon.  Upper sections of the run saw the lightest angling pressure today, with most efforts being focused in the middle sections again.  Overall, the middle section remained the most productive for anglers today.  Anglers indicated activity significantly decreased once the sun hit the water throughout.  At this time the dam release is scheduled to remain at 195 CFS until 11:59 PM tonight (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.

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.

A mix of weather today, but temperatures remained in the 50’s keeping things comfortable.  It sounds like some anglers may have been a slow start to the morning, particularly in the lower sections, but based on the reports we received  there was a considerable amount of action in the middle and upper sections of the run today.  Morning reports from our River patrol indicated light angling pressure in the upper sections, with most pressure in the middle and lower sections, but moderate success reported throughout.  Afternoon reports indicated moderate angling pressure in the middle and upper sections, but with great success.  Today, a majority of steelhead with just a couple of brown trout brought to hand.  At this time the dam release is scheduled to remain at 290 CFS until 11:59 PM tonight (11/11).  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.

Weather-wise and fishing-wise, things improved in a big way over yesterday. Yesterday's wind and the weather change yesterday seemed to shut most of the fish down. Today was a very different story. In spite of the bright sunshine, with relatively little wind, the fish must have taken advantage of their day of rest as the bite was on today. All anglers that I spoke with that fished both days confirmed that today was a much better day than yesterday. Traditional fly fishing techniques as well as center-pin/float fishing all produced well today. Now if we could only get some desperately needed rain. Water temperature this morning was 44 degrees and the flow from the dam remains at 290cfs and at Pineville 377cfs.

Today wasn't nearly the day that yesterday was. Weather and fish-wise. Chilly and overcast for the entire day (with just a couple peeks of sun) and the wind was howling. That didn't help our anglers that's for sure. As one anglers just mentioned at the end of the day; "Tough sledding today, man. But tomorrow will be better" and that pretty much sums up what I've heard all afternoon. Fishing definitely not what it was yesterday (which by all reports was pretty amazing). Weather for tomorrow looks to be a bit on the colder side but the wind dies considerably and will be coming out of a more accommodating direction. Flow from the dam remains at 290cfs and at Pineville 377cfs.

Not quite the warm weather we've been seeing lately, but still warm for this time of year with temperatures remaining in the 50's.  Despite a few stints of light rain, conditions remained comfortable on the water with a mix of sun and clouds.  Overall, based on the reports we received from our River Patrol and the anglers we spoke with, it was a rather productive day, and clearly activity has picked up.  Again, it seems the majority of the fish activity continues to be reported in the early morning.  Upper and lower sections reported the greatest angling pressure, with light pressure reported in the middle sections.  Reports from all sections indicated moderate to good success, with quite a few larger fish steelhead reported in the mix today. (Pictured below; Andy fishing w/ Capt. Mike Ford of Reel Addicted Sportfishing)  Today, primarily steelhead were reported.  At this time the dam release is scheduled to remain at 290 CFS until 11:59 PM tonight (11/6).  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.

Warm temperatures carried through the night, with a start in the mid 60’s today accompanied by some much needed rain.  Unlike the past few days, today we had plenty of overcast which seemed to lend itself to a fairly productive morning for some anglers, but activity quickly tapered as the day progressed. Overall, middle sections reported the greatest angling pressure as well as the greatest fish activity, with little reported from the upper sections, and spotty activity in the lower sections.  Another mixed bagged with quite a few brown trout landed.

The cold weather was short lived, with temperatures beginning in the mid 50's this morning. Conditions got a bit tougher as the day progressed with cloud cover disappearing, ultimately giving way to bright blue skies and bringing water temperatures up to a reported 58 F by this afternoon.  With that said, anglers reported greater activity this morning with moderate action, landing a mix of brown trout and steelhead in the upper sections of the run.  Reports this afternoon varied, but the consensus was things quieted down as the sun hit the water, with lower sections reporting a bit more activity, but light overall.   At this time the dam release is scheduled to remain at 290 CFS until 11:59 PM tonight (11/5).  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.

A near freezing start to the morning with temperatures finally making it out of the 30's, but strong winds (gusts 28 mph+) made the 50 F mid day temperature feel more like low 40's.  While conditions weren't necessarily comfortable, most of our anglers made their way onto the run first thing this morning, with most hanging it up by the early afternoon after contending with the winds.  With a lack of sunshine and an abundance of cloud coverage, water temperatures topped out around 46  F.  Overall, based on the reports we received from our River Patrol and the anglers we spoke with today, for most, the morning was more productive reporting moderate angling success in the middle and upper sections of the run, while this afternoon, the lower most sections of the property took the spotlight, but reports from both indicated a mix of steelhead and brown trout.  At this time the dam release is scheduled to remain at 290 CFS until 11:59 PM tonight (11/4).  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.

Another day on the cooler side but the bright sunshine all day made things feel a little better than yesterday. As far as the fishing goes, yesterday, by most accounts, was the better day to be on the water. That being said, today was another excellent day so we're really splitting hairs here. Just about everyone that I have spoken with was able to get into several Steelhead and some a whole bunch more. Even some fairly fresh Kings were brought to hand. Although the fishing has been excellent in these low water conditions we really do need some water. Some showers are in the forecast for this coming Wednesday, but at this point it doesn't look like it will provide any relief and it's not until mid-month that things look more promising. It's becoming a real concern. Flow from the dam is currently 290cfs and at Pineville the flow is 377cfs. Water temperature this morning was 48 degrees.

With overcast skies, some drizzling rain, and temperatures hovering around 40 degrees, it is really starting to feel like Steelhead season. Reports from the anglers on the run was mixed today. Overall I think, even with yesterday's leaves, fishing was a bit better yesterday than it was today. However, fishing today was still, by most accounts, excellent. There is little doubt that there are plenty of fish on our stretch of water. I think that over the past several days good numbers of fish have pushed up into our stretch and the combination of relatively little volume of flow and large numbers of salmon that dropped eggs in our section of the river has resulted in good numbers of fish "hanging out" in the DSR. Fish are trickling up, of course, but nothing like they would be with more water and less food (i.e. eggs) for them to eat. Nearly all Steelhead with a couple Browns, Coho, and Kings. Flow is presently 290cfs from the dam and 397cfs at Pineville

A beautiful fall day on the water, with temperatures remaining in the 50's today with little overcast and very light wind.  Water temperatures this morning began at a reported 48 F, and reached 51 F this afternoon.  Overall, light angling pressure throughout the run, with most anglers making their way off the water by early afternoon.  Based on the reports we received from our River Patrol and the anglers we spoke with today, the middle and upper sections indicated minimal activity, with the lower sections reporting a bit more success but also rather quiet.  Hopefully a few more cooler days and colder overnights will stir up some activity. At this time the dam release is scheduled to be reduced from 350 to 285 CFS 'due to ongoing drought conditions coupled with low reservoir levels.

The weather has started to be a lot more like Steelhead kind of weather. Cold, sharp winds and dark cloudy skies. No rain and no snow flurries as of yet, but it sure felt like they weren't far off. The leaves were reported as not being too terrible today. Overall, I would say that the fishing was good. There were those that struggled, but overall a greater number of anglers were able to get into some Steelhead today. Spread though out the run, but, again, the mid and lower sections were somewhat more productive (although that may have been due to the fact that that is where more angers concentrated their efforts). Differing from earlier this week when it seemed that only a handful of anglers that had "the honey hole" were successful. And we're still getting reports of some "fresher" Kings being brought to hand. The water temperature dropped during the course of the day going from 55 degrees this morning to 52 degrees at 3:30 this afternoon. Flow from the dam remains (you guessed it) at 350cfs and the flow at Pineville remains at 436cfs (where it's been the past several days

Early sunshine gave way to overcast skies in the afternoon and that may have contributed to what has seemed to a bit of an improvement (overall) in the Steelhead fishing today. There are still those fortunate ones that have "the right spot" that have been doing well, but today it seemed that the success was more wide-spread (as were the smiles) Most Steelhead today with a few Kings in the mix and reports of a couple brown trout being brought to had. Water temperature at 3:00PM was 54 degrees and the flow from the dam remains at 350cfs and at Pineville 436cfs

The weather for today is partly cloudy this morning, then becoming cloudy during the afternoon. Slight chance of a rain shower. High 52F. Winds WNW at 10 to 20 mph. The winds have picked up today putting more leaves in the river. The clarity is moderate, but manageable. Steelhead is the fish of the day, with River Patrol sighting them up and down the river. Most of the fish are holding in place with moderate success on the lower end of the run. The middle of the run is seeing some success with moderate numbers of anglers. The flow out of the Dam remains at 350CFS and out of Pineville 436CFS.

A chilly, bright sunshine day gave way this afternoon to temperatures in the mid-fifties and overcast skies (with a sprinkle here and there). Today our anglers had to work a little harder for the fish by moving a lot and changing up their offering. Those that did (particularly in the mid-lower sections) were rewarded with steelhead and the occasional King. The fishing success (while very good in some spots and particular times) was, generally, less than it was yesterday. And as I said, it was a little more work today. Our4 anglers are going to sleep well tonight. The flow from the dam remains at 350cfs and the flow from Pineville is 436cfs. This mornings water temperature was 48 degrees

We had another day with plenty of sunshine (after some morning mixed sun and clouds) but temperatures were significantly cooler than we've had for a while. Temperatures a good 20-25 degrees cooler and the cooler temperatures seemed to improve the fishing considerably as the angler reports during the course of the day have been a marked improvement from the past several days. Plenty of Steelhead, a surprising number of Kings (on the Fresh side) with even a couple fresh Coho thrown into the mix. While fish were brought to hand in greater numbers throughout the run, the mid and lower sections seemed to be the better choice. Tomorrow? Who knows. Much depends on what type of fish movement we have overnight and that's anyone's guess. The flow from the dam will remain at 350cfs and the flow at Pineville is 436cfs. This mornings water temperature of 51 degrees rose to 59 degrees by late afternoon. Tomorrow's forecast call for early sun, turning cloudy with a little bit warmer temperatures (high of 55)

Another unbelievable day weather-wise with temperatures in the mid-to upper 70's. It actually got a bit uncomfortable on the run. Mornings start out very cool so you dress for it, but by the time the day is over you're asking yourself why you brought so many clothes. Fishing remains challenging for most angers. There were Steelhead brought to hand and even some Kings on the "fresher side", but one needed to cover a lot of ground and hope that you hit upon the spots that held some fish. Those that were fortunate enough to find "the spot" were rewarded with some excellent fishing (particularly from mid-day on). There still reports of good numbers of Steelhead in the estuary and we're all waiting for some rain/rise in water levels that will trigger the fish and encourage them to enter into the run. Some rain and much lower temperatures are in the forecast for tomorrow and here's hoping that it improves the situation. Flow from the dam remains at 350cfs and at Pineville the flow is currently 447cfs

It's hard to believe that we're nearing the end of October and we have temperatures in the low 70's. And not just today but multiple days in a row. I suppose things will change soon enough, but it's nice while it lasts. Not too sure that it has helped the fishing as we continue to wait for some rain. Based on reports from anglers today, I would say that the fishing today was an improvement over yesterday. Not by significant margins, but better than yesterday. A few bright, fresh salmon and better numbers of Steelhead have been brought to hand. When interacting with anglers and guides today, most were pretty happy with their results. Water remains at 350cfs from the dam (unfortunately) and the current flow at Pineville is 453cfs. Late this afternoon water temperature was 62 degrees (up considerably from the past several days).

Another nice Fall day with temperatures close to 70 degrees with another nice day in the forecast for tomorrow as well. While we had plenty of sunshine, fishing probably could have been better with a little more clouds and less sun as the fishing reports suggested that the bite improved with cloud cover and diminished with the sun out (which is often the case.) There are still a few fresh Kings entering into the run and some Steelhead (but not what I would consider "a lot'). A few Kings were brought to hand as well as better numbers of Steelhead and what success there was seemed to be at the lower end of the run. Little success and minimal angler pressure existed in the middle and upper sections of the run. Of course, that could all change tomorrow. We need rain (which will give us more water) which will bring a greater presence of Steelhead. The afternoon water temperature was 54 degrees and the flow from the dam remains at 350cfs and at Pineville the flow is 447cfs

Some interesting weather throughout the day with a mix or sunshine, showers and overcast.  Based on the reports from our River Patrol and the anglers we spoke with today, activity was similar to that of yesterday.  Upper and middle sections reported the lightest angling pressure and fish activity, with a mix of kings and steelhead.  The lower sections saw the greatest angling pressure, as well as the most success, also with a fair split of steelhead and kings, but no significant numbers of fish reported.  At this time the dam release is currently scheduled to remain at 350 CFS until 11:59 PM tonight (10/16).  Please monitor safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for updated dam release scheduling and information.
