Yesterday's Report

January 13, 2025

****************01/14/2025 DELAYED OPENING UNTIL 08:00 AM DUE TO WEATHER************   It appears that the bulk of the action was in the middle to the upper ends of the run today, with egg sacks the primary bait, most everyone caught and landed fish today. The weather today was variably cloudy with snow showers. Temps nearly steady in the low to mid 30s. Winds WSW at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of snow 40%. For tonight will be cloudy with snow. Low 23F. Winds W at 15 to 25 mph. Chance of snow 80%, 3 to 5 inches of snow expected. Heavier amounts in persistent snowbands. And for tomorrow snow during the morning will transition to snow showers during the afternoon. High around 25F. Winds W at 15 to 25 mph. Chance of snow 80%. Snow accumulating 3 to 5 inches.

January 12, 2025

CFS at the dam 350 until midnight tomorrow, CFS at the Pineville gauge constant at 512. Air temperatures were 30 degrees Fahrenheit at opening, rising to a high of 34 degrees around 2 PM, before beginning a slow drop to what will be our overnight low of 28 degrees. 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. High 34F. Winds SW at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of snow 50%. Snow accumulations less than one inch. May be an image of body of water and tree

The water clarity was good, little to no slush, but there's some shelf ice. One of our season pass holders, mentioned that the bite was soft and the fish were on the bottom. Although there were only a few anglers, everyone had some success, a good day on the river.

Anglers noted that there was shelf ice and the water was somewhat stained. This afternoon the amount of slush improved, a few anglers had some success. One season passholder commented that with the low humidity and not much wind made for a great day on the run.

Daily Fishing Report for 1/7/2025-Although temperatures moderated a bit, inching up to the low 20s, the N / NW wind certainly didn’t make it feel much warmer today than yesterday. We had a pair of guests venture onto the run mid-morning but returned a couple hours later without a hook up. Unfortunately, tomorrow’s weather doesn’t show much improvement temperature wise as it will hover around 14 degrees at daybreak only climbing a few degrees with N / NW winds projected to be around 15 mph.
The Pineville gauge is at 488 cfs at the time of this report; the dam is currently at 500 cfs but scheduled to bump up to 700 cfs at 5:30pm this evening through 11:59pm 1/8/2025.

Daily Fishing Report for 1/6/2025-We had a few anglers attempt to fish the run this morning, however with temperatures around 11 degrees, slush / ice was prevalent throughout, from bottom to top and brought our guests back from the river without any hookups.  For tomorrow we can expect temperatures to start in the high teens, staying below 25 degrees for the day, with N / NW winds 15-17mph, and a moderate, changing over to small chance of precipitation. Current flow from the dam is 300 cfs and Pineville gauge is reading 506 cfs.  The dam output is scheduled to stay at 300 cfs through 6:00pm tomorrow evening then increase to 500 cfs until 11:59 pm 1/7/2025.

CFS at the dam 300 until at least midnight tomorrow, CFS at the Pineville gauge 544 and very gradually dropping. Air temperatures started at 29 degrees Fahrenheit at opening time, it is currently 23 degrees, on its way to an overnight low of 11 degrees. All morning and into mid-afternoon we had fairly stiff winds, with occasional gusts, but the winds seem to have abated during the late afternoon. There have been periodic flurries of fine-grained lake effect snow, adding very little to what had already accumulated (about 4" total). 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! Tomorrow's forecast is for cloudy skies, high of 17 F, winds N at 5 to 10 mph.

Air temperatures remained in the mid 30s overnight and throughout the day, skies were overcast, winds were variable, at times gusting, and became stronger as the day progressed, we had a mid-afternoon fairly brief flurry of snow that only amounted to a dusting on the ground. A solo guest joined us today, fishing into the very early afternoon. He was able to bring to hand a decent amount of "skippy" Steelhead (4#-5#) in the lower and middle sections. He reported that the water was clear, and their was no ice or slush. Overnight low will be 28 degrees Fahrenheit, with snow. Tomorrow's forecast will be: Variably cloudy with snow showers. Temps nearly steady around 30. Winds WNW at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of snow 70%. Snow accumulating 1 to 3 inches.

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.

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.

For this evening cloudy, with  snow showers possible. Low 17F. Winds N at 10 to 15 mph.  Chance of snow 80%. Tomorrow looks to be more of the same, cloudy with a few flurries or snow showers possible. High 19F. Winds NNW at 10 to 15 mph. Slush on the water could be an issue this weekend with the extreme cold temperatures. As of this afternoon, the slush wasn't too bad, but the water had a little staining as reported by an intrepid angler. Fish were caught, mostly in the middle section of the run. The Dam remains at 1500CFS thru midnight tomorrow.   -------------------------- Upcoming Lodge Availability - https://www.facebook.com/douglastonsalmonrun/posts/pfbid0NoDUcDd3hZvFTVRC1H3XsSofwuTF7f3xf2mp3CDMkeFR8XsRf2nCqH7DdXufwDPRl

CFS at the dam remained at 1500 (through at least midnight tonight) - CFS at the Pineville gauge at 1890 - water temperature 35 degrees, air temperature ranged from high to mid 30s, overcast all day, very light winds, drizzled most of the day - despite the weather, we had a baker's dozen of guests join us on the run, starting from opening through early afternoon - as these guests trickled off the run, the reports were positive - one guest was able to at least get a tug, with all others bringing Steelhead to hand (egg sacks bounced on the bottom produced best) - the sole exception was a seasoned angler who commented "Water fished fine despite being a little high, conditions were great, I just couldn't connect today!" It happens to the best of us ... overnight low of 31 degrees, with a few snow flurries - forecast for tomorrow is: Mainly cloudy with snow showers around in the morning. High 33F.

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.

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

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.

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.

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). Please monitor safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for updated dam release scheduling. REMINDER: DSR's staggered release has concluded as of 10/27.

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.

At dawn this morning we were right at freezing, with light and variable winds - we continued with fairly light winds throughout the day, and the temperature ramped up slowly to a high of 50 F, with plenty of sunshine - CFS at the dam was 195, CFS at the Pineville gauge was 252 - water temperature was 42 F - quite a number of guests showed up to take advantage of both the relatively good Steelhead fishing we have been experiencing for awhile, as well as the decent weather - I would describe the fishing today as "a slow but steady pick" for most, with most of the fish holding in pools - there were some brief flurries of intense activity for some guests as small pods of fish moved around a bit - it was not unusual for some pairings and trios of guests to report having achieved double-digit results today, especially those who put in the time and stayed until near dusk - forecast for tomorrow is a mix of clouds and sun in the morning followed by cloudy skies during the afternoon. High near 50F. Winds light and variable.

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.

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.

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.

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

Today's weather was a bit of a change in pace with temperatures approaching 80 F, making things warm and muggy.  Warm temperatures and low water brought water temperatures back into the 50's today, beginning at a reported 50 F and reaching 54 F this afternoon.  Most of our anglers joined us first thing this morning, with most making it off the run by late afternoon.  Based on the reports we received from our River Patrol and the anglers we spoke with today,  the day started off fairly quiet but reports pointed to an considerable increase in activity in the lower sections of the run late this afternoon. While lower sections reported success later in the day, activity in the middle and upper sections remained quiet throughout the day.  At this time the dam release is scheduled to remain at 290 CFS until 11:59 PM tomorrow (10/31).  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 bluebird morning quickly turned into a cloudy, windy and rather damp afternoon.  Light angling pressure today, with most of our anglers joining us mid-morning into the afternoon.  Water temperatures began at a reported 47 F this morning, and reached approximately 49 F this afternoon.  Based on the reports we received from our River Patrol and the anglers we spoke with today the fish activity was also rather light.  Reports ranged from a skunk, to a steelhead or two, with a few exceptions to that, but overall, most anglers indicated a rather quiet day on the water.  Nearly all reports today were of steelhead, with a few brown trout as well as a few lingering kings.  The dam release is currently scheduled to remain at 290 CFS until 11:59 PM tomorrow (10/30).  Please monitor safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for updated dam release information.  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 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. This lowered base flow will remain reduced until the reservoir recovers to normal historic elevations for this time of year.'  The dam release is scheduled to be adjusted tonight at 6:00 PM tonight (10/28).  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 hours of operation and check-in time.

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

4:00pm River Patrol Fishing Report: The current flow from the dam is 350 cfs; Pineville gauge is listed as 494; current water temperature is 57 degrees.  As expected, steelhead started showing up in greater numbers, (specifically in the middle runs), and the amount of Cohos brought to hand seemed to drop off a bit.  Guest volume was listed as low in the estuary section along with the very top of the run; all other sections in between reported moderate to high angler volume, and moderate to good success hooking up.  Tomorrow should see the start of the day hovering around 40 degrees, but unlike today partly sunny skies are forecasted with temperatures reaching the low 60s and winds shifting from the N / NW to the W / SW.

Off and on heavy rain throughout the day again today, with temperatures reaching around 55 F.  Heavy rain lessened the angling pressure a bit, and made for what seemed like a rather successful afternoon.  Based on reports from our River Patrol and the anglers we spoke with this afternoon; the middle and upper sections offered anglers moderate to good success on primarily kings with a few coho sprinkled in the mix along with several reports of both steelhead and brown trout.  The lower most sections showed steady movement up river with very light angling pressure.  At this time the dam release is currently scheduled to remain at 350 CFS until 11:59 PM tomorrow (10/10).  Please monitor safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for updated dam release scheduling and information.

A damp and dreary start turned into a bright sunny day for a few hours, but transitioned back to complete cloud coverage, heavy rain and a bit of thunder and lightning.  Despite some of the less than desirable weather, the fishing seemed to pick up from the morning into the afternoon.  Based on the reports from River Patrol and anglers we spoke with, there was a decent push of fish in the lower end, providing good angling opportunities throughout the property.  Reports from the uppermost sections indicated low angling pressure, with moderate success on primarily Kings with a few Coho in the mix.  Middle and lower sections of the property reported moderate to good success with predominantly Kings reported.  The dam release is currently scheduled to remain at 350 CFS until 11:59 PM tomorrow (10/9).  Please monitor safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for updated dam release scheduling and information.

The water temperature fell to 56F down a bit from yesterday's 60F, although the fish haven't adjusted to the cooler water, as the River Patrol reports that the fish are moving slowly up river. The day started of with steady light rain this morning. Showers continuing this afternoon. High 59F. Winds W at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 70%. Most of the anglers are in the middle of the run, with a good many towards the upper end. Both the upper and middle are having moderate success.

The upper end of the river has a moderate number of anglers that are having success, while the lower end on the south side the anglers are working a little harder today. The fish are moving up river along the run, with some holding in place in the middle of the run. Kings and Coho have been noted through out the run, with a Brown sighted at the top of the run. The flow remains the same at 350CFS out of the Dam and out of Pineville 459CFS.

5:00pm River Patrol Fishing Report:  The flow from the dam is 350 cfs; Pineville gauge is 453 cfs; water temperature taken at 3pm is 66 degrees.  It seems very likely that many of the fish milling about the estuary decided to make some movement upriver today as fishing was listed by most of the guests I spoke with as being the best this season so far.  From the lower end to the upper, except for the very top of the run, fish were brought to hand in solid numbers.  Kings, Cohos, a lone brown and steelhead were all in the mix.  Tomorrow we’ll start the day off in the mid-40s with S / SE winds reaching 10-12 mph, along with a slight chance of rain during the day, possibly having some thunderstorms move in at nightfall.  (Total Rain expected not more than ¼”.)

It looks like the over night winds and some rain has improved the fishing today, along with the lower water temperature of 59F this morning. Our guests have been having success all up and down the run. The number of anglers are mostly in the main section of the run with less activity in the extreme upper and lower ends of the run. River Patrol has noted that the fish are all moving upriver and hardly any holding in pools. The weather today will have areas of patchy fog early. Plenty of sunshine. High 67F. Winds NNW at 5 to 10 mph. The cooler temperatures should make the fishing a bit more comfortable today. The Dam is holding at 350CFS and out of Pineville 453CFS. This nice Brown was caught by George who's being guided by Scott Mathna of Redlegg Outfitters.

It’s fair to say that both morning and afternoon showed some improvement in the number of fish hooked as well as landed over the previous days.  Tomorrow should see temperatures start of around 50 degrees, reaching the mid-60s by late afternoon, with light N / NW winds.

Tomorrow’s weather is scheduled to mimic today for the most part, with temperatures starting out in the low 40s, increasing to the mid to upper 60s by afternoon, with light variable winds.

An ugly start to the day with drizzle and a chilling rain for the morning that cleared off nicely for the afternoon. The reports from up and down the river were very similar in that angler density was moderate and fishing success was slow. There are fish around (primarily Kings) and the more persistent anglers are having some success, but all are waiting a more serious push of fish. Reports from the lake indicate that they are still "pounding" the fish out there and it's just matter of time when those fish enter into the run. When? That's the 64,000 question. Flow from the dam remains at 350cfs through midnight tomorrow and the flow at Pineville is 464cfs (up about 20 cfs from this morning.

Beautiful Fall weather, but a challenging day for most on the run today. Both Coho and Kings are present, but anglers worked to get fish. Top to bottom the feedback from our anglers as well as River Patrol told the same story, moderate to low angler density, limited success with most fish moving upstream rather than holding in pools. "They're there. You gotta work for 'em." Flow from the dam remains at 350cfs and at Pineville 419cfs. This mornings water temperature was 62 degrees.

It's hard to believe with temperatures reaching into the 80's today, tomorrow will be October.  While we had a reasonably cool overnight, the lack of overcast warmed things up quite quickly.  Based on the reports we received from our River Patrol and the anglers we spoke with this afternoon, the middle section remained the top producer today with moderate success, on primarily Kings.  The upper and lower sections of the run indicated a bit quieter activity than that of the middle section with moderate to slow activity, but a light trickle of fish still moving through. Tomorrow's forecast calls for similar conditions with some more overcast, hopefully keeping things cool. At this time the dam release is currently scheduled to remain at 350 CFS until 11:59 PM tomorrow night (10/1).  Please monitor safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for updated dam release scheduling and information.

Today, we had another fairly even split of King and Coho's moving through.  The dam release is currently scheduled to remain at 350 CFS until 11:59 PM tomorrow (9/27). Please monitor safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for updated dam release scheduling and information.  Please note; tomorrow 9/27, new hours of operation and access times will take affect.

Off and on heavy rain along with high winds made for an interesting day on the water.  Some mixed reports, but it seems like the rain stirred up quite a bit of activity from the morning into the early afternoon.  Based on the reports from our River Patrol and the anglers we spoke with this afternoon; activity increased significantly during the periods of rainfall but lessened as the day went on.  Upper and Lower sections of the property reported the least angling pressure and activity this afternoon, while the middle section continues to have the greatest angling pressure and fish activity.  Today, a even mix of both King and Coho salmon were reported.  Despite today's rainfall, the dam release is currently scheduled to remain at 350 CFS until 11:59 PM tomorrow (9/26). Please monitor safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for updated dam release scheduling and information.

5:00pm River Patrol Fishing Report:  350 cfs at the dam; 430 cfs at Pineville; Water Temperature 65 degrees.  With another mostly sunny day on the run, temperatures in the low to mid 70s and light S SW breezes, the fishing success backed off a bit from the morning report as the upper portions were reporting fish moving upriver and the middle to lower portions showing fish holding in the deeper pools.  Once again, more fisherman showed an affinity for working the upper stretches with Kings and the odd Coho brought to hand.  The middle portions of the river reported lower angler success with both Kings and Cohos although a Brown was also in the tally.  If the weather forecast holds true for tomorrow, we’ll have our 1st opportunity in a long time for some much-needed rain.  Monday’s forecast is for temperatures to be in the mid-50s at daybreak rising to the mid to upper 60s by the afternoon with a 40 percent chance of shower and SE winds 10-15 mph.

Similar to yesterday's conditions, we had some light cloud coverage but things warmed up quickly reaching into the mid 80's again today.  Ultimately, the heat seemed to put a damper on the fish activity this afternoon.  Angling pressure significantly decreased as we headed into the afternoon, with the high sun taking its toll on both the fish and the anglers.  Based on the reports from our River Patrol and anglers we spoke with; the lower sections reported the most activity with the estuary reporting a bit of movement late this afternoon, while the middle and upper sections of the property had very little angling pressure and reporting moderate activity and success.  The dam release is currently scheduled to remain at 350 CFS until 11:59 PM tomorrow (9/18).  Please monitor safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for updated dam release scheduling and information.

Another day on the warm side with clear sunny skies. That's not helping the fishing any as we noticed less fish movement and less angler success. As is typical, there was some fish that moved into the run early this morning and limited fish movement over the course of the day, but as the sun and temperature rose, the fish hunkered down in the faster water and deeper pools. Although we didn't have reading on the water temperature this afternoon, this morning at the lower end the temperature was 61 and rose to 64 around noon. I'm sure that by the late afternoon, the temperature of the water rose up a couple more degrees. Still, many anglers were successful in bringing fish to hand which consisted primarily of Kings with the presence of Coho continuing to diminish in the run. A beautiful brown trout was brought to hand this morning in the lower end of the run. Tomorrow's forecast is calling for another day in the low 80's with clear skies and plenty of sunshine. The flow from the dam remains at 350cfs and at Pineville 403cfs.

The temperatures got hotter, but the fishing slowed some from yesterday. There were still good numbers of fish (about a fifty-fifty mix of Coho's nd King's) but not the predominance of Coho that we witnessed yesterday. Yesterday the ratio was closer to 80-20 in favor of Coho. Many were of the smaller size, but extremely enjoyable to have at the end of the line. Still the vast majority of our anglers were able to get into fish today and a fair number were brought to hand. No reports of any browns or steelhead today. It looks like sunny and warmer weather will be with us for a while and we'll have to wait and see what kink of impact that hs on the fishery. Water from the dam remains at 350cfs through midnight tomorrow and the current reading at Pineville is 408cfs

Those areas experienced the greatest angling success, but that may do, at least in part, to the fact that more anglers were present. As has been the pattern of late, Coho's seem to have a greater concentration than Kings (particularly in the upper section of the run). Reports from the lower section of the run suggest less fish density than in the mid and upper section although we are getting word that Kings and Coho's are "milling about" in the estuary, but are disinclined to push up into the run. Still, every day ( usually in the morning) we have some fish new fish entering the system. It's been a great beginning to the Salmon season. Flow from the dam remains at 350cfs and at Pineville the flow is 425cfs.

Severe weather this afternoon necessitated (out of an abundance of caution) termination of fishing this afternoon. Thunder, lightening, and tornado warnings (Mother Nature) has a way of altering plans. Up until the storm came through reports from our river patrol indicted that there were good numbers of Kings and Salmon scattered throughout the run. Not great numbers, but definitely good numbers. And more Coho than Kings which is good news as well. The flow at the dam remains at 350cfs and the current flow (after our heavy rains) is 442cfs (and rising).

Our coolest overnight so far this season (48 F) seemed to bring a bit of life to the river today.  While conditions weren't exactly optimal in the early part of the morning, the fishing was good.  Rains dwindled, but the strong winds stuck around for the greater part of the day.  Based on reports from our River Patrol and the anglers we spoke with this afternoon the middle and upper sections of the property had the most success as well as the most angling pressure reporting mostly kings with a few Coho in the mix, while the lower sections indicated lesser success but also much less angling pressure.  At this time the dam release is currently scheduled to remain at 350 CFS until 11:59PM tomorrow (9/8). Please monitor safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for updated dam release scheduled.

Probably one of the coolest days we've seen thus far remaining in the mid 60's, with a good amount of rainfall throughout the morning.  Based on reports from our River Patrol and the anglers we spoke with today, activity seemed a bit lighter overall today.  Reports this afternoon were similar throughout the run, with light angling pressure and low to moderate fish activity.  Today anglers again reported predominantly King salmon with some Coho in the mix.  Despite this morning's rainfall the dam release is currently scheduled to remain at 350 CFS until 11:59PM tomorrow (9/8).

High temp should reach 62F and the low will be 50F. The upper end of the run has seen quite a few anglers with some success, all Kings and the fish are moving up river. The middle of the run, some action, also Kings and moving up. The lower end of the run, not so many anglers, some action and Kings the fish of the morning. The Kings are a bright color. The flow out of the dam thru midnight tonight is 350CFS and out of Pineville 408CFS.

As to be expected the active fish movement throughout the run that we witnessed this morning slowed during the mid-day and the hours of overhead sun. Still good numbers of fish were sighted and brought to hand (particularly in the deeper pools of the mid-section). Slower fish presence experienced in the upper and lower sections with light angling pressure with fish moving downstream in the lower parts of our run. Coho's were sighted (briefly) as they shot through pretty fact as is their habit. Still and all, another good day to be on run. Tomorrow's forecast calls for plenty of sunshine with temperatures nearing 80 degrees with some rain forecast for this weekend. Water from the dam remains at 350cfs through midnight tomorrow and the flow at Pineville is 382cfs (down slightly from yesterdays reading at this time of 387cfs.

I realize it's getting repetitive, but today was another absolutely beautiful day on the run with clear blue skies, pleasant temperatures, and minimal wind. In addition, good fish movement is getting repetitive as well. Most of the movement was concentrated on the mid-section where there was the greatest density of anglers and action. Strangely, this afternoon the upper-section saw relatively light fish movement (perhaps due to the bright overhead sun) and light angler pressure. Fish were brought to hand but not nearly to the degree that was witnessed in the mid-section. Kings ruled the day with a smattering of Coho in the mix. Everyday the fish presence improves. Not by leaps and bounds, but incrementally moving to better and better numbers. Now we just need to keep our fingers crossed that we avoid that period where the fish seem to disappear for a time. We'll see what tomorrow brings. The forecast for tomorrow is for another sunny and slightly warmer day with temperatures approaching 80 degrees. The flow from the dam remains at 350cfs and the flow at Pineville is 387cfs.

Another beautiful day on the run. Sunny skies, light winds and warmer temperatures. Fishing was pretty darn good as well. Everyone with whom I spoke saw good fish movement throughout the day. Not crazy numbers but groups of two and three's on a regular basis. Sometimes more. I recall one angler who when asked "How was it today?" smirked, smiled and didn't answer until I repeated my question. At that point he smiled and said "I don't know how it was for anyone else but I had a very good day. Yeah. It was a really good day". Other anglers that I spoke with were clearly very happy with their day. Lots of hookups and good numbers of fish were brought to hand. Tomorrow is looking like it should be another excellent day to be on the run. Sunshine and temperatures into the seventies. We've received a number of reports from down stream that the estuary is getting loaded up with fish. Now we just need them to poke their nose up into the run in the morning. Water temperature went from 61 early up to 64 around noon. Flow from the dam remains at 350cfs and the Pineville gauge is reading 387cfs.

One couldn't ask for a much better day on the run. A mix of sun and clouds, cooler fall-like temperatures, and a steady movement of fish ( almost exclusively Kings) throughout the day. There were some slower periods, of course ,and the early morning hours, as to be expected, saw the most visible movement, but fish were on the moved through the afternoon and evening hours as well. As the sun got higher in the sky fish could be found in the faster water and in places that offered shade. After the early morning push of fish, the mid and upper sections seemed to have the heaviest action although anglers that fished from the mid section down found plenty of fish to keep themselves entertained. Tomorrow's forecast calls for a high of 70 with clear skies (after an overnight low near 50) and light winds. Tomorrow is shaping up to be another excellent day to be on the run. Flow from the dam remains at 350cfs and the flow at Pineville is 406cfs. Water temperature this afternoon was 66, but will definitely be cooling down through the nighttime hours.

Conditions on the run remained fair, with moderate overcast throughout the day and just a brief stint of heavy rain.  With another day of a 750 CFS release the anticipation continued for the increased flows to bring some more fish into the river.  Based on reports from our River Patrol and anglers we spoke with there was a slight increase in activity with a mix of Kings and Coho today.  Most success was indicated in the morning, with a bit of a mid day lull.  Anglers fishing the middle and upper sections seemed to report the most activity throughout the day.  The dam release is scheduled to be reduced from 750 CFS to 350 CFS tonight 9/1 at 6:00 PM, where it currently scheduled to remain until 11:59 PM tomorrow 9/2.

After an increase in the dam release last night quite a few anglers joined us first thing this morning, anticipating the surge to bring in some fish along with it.  Overall, based on reports from River Patrol and the anglers we spoke with today it seemed to just be a trickle of fish today with no significant numbers reported overserved nor caught.  A handful of king salmon were reported landed, with most activity reported in the morning. Ultimately with light movement and impending weather most anglers made their way off the run by the early afternoon.  The dam release is currently scheduled to remain at 750 CFS until 6:00 PM tomorrow (9/1).  Please monitor safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for updated dam release scheduling and information.

As has been the pattern of late, the morning hours were best in terms of fish sightings as well as angling. Reports from our anglers indicate seeing more fish this morning than this afternoon. Not great numbers of fish sighted this morning, but a fish or two (sometimes three) sighted with some fish being brought to hand. The mid and upper sections seemed to where the most action was. With the bright sunshine this afternoon, a noticeable drop off in both sightings and fish hooked this afternoon River flow remains at 350cfs from the dam and at Pineville the flow is 377cfs. At 9:00PM tomorrow night the water will be bumped up to 750cfs at the dam for this week-ends white water release.

Cooler temperatures with mostly overcast skies today made things a bit more comfortable down on the run. Reports from the anglers today suggest that things have slowed down relative to the past few days. The fish are still "here and there" but not to the extent that we saw yesterday and the day before that and fewer fish were brought to hand. As has been the pattern, most of the movement seemed to occur during the early morning hours with another report of Coho being sighted

With the water level elevated a little, it's not possible to get a good reading on the number of salmon in the run, but based on many reports from todays anglers, I would say that there are plenty. A frequent comment given by anglers was "Yeah. There's fish down there." Just about everyone reported seeing fish, many had multiple hook-ups and numerous salmon were brought to hand. We even received a report of a Coho being sighted which seems very early. At 8:00PM this evening the release from the dam will be going to 350cfs which should make tomorrow and excellent day to be on the run.

As of 6:00 PM today (8/16) the dam release was adjusted to 750 CFS, where it is currently scheduled to remain until 11:59 PM tomorrow (8/16). Quite a few anglers eagerly took to the water after the drop in flows, with our first male king salmon reported being caught late this afternoon. Water temperatures have continued to remain around 70 F. Forecasts for the upcoming week indicate a fair possibility of rain, with high temps of about 80 F.
