4:30pm River Patrol Fishing Report:  The flow from the dam is 350 cfs; the Pineville gauge is at 459 cfs; water temperature is 61 degrees as of 4pm.  Today was the first day that really felt like fall was in the air with temperatures in the low 50s and a moderate N/NW breeze.  The overall fishing report was once again solid with Kings and Cohos spread throughout, along with steelhead, (which should be on the increase with each passing day now.)  Guest volume was highest in the mid to upper river, with low pressure at the very top and very bottom of the run.  Tomorrow’s weather will be in the mid-40s to start with a strong chance of showers thru 12pm, (approximate accumulation 1/3”), with light NW winds, becoming partly sunny for the remainder of the day and winds increasing 10-12 mph from the NW.

The water temperature was 60F this morning. The temperature was a bit warmer this morning with partly cloudy skies, then becoming cloudy during the afternoon. Slight chance of a rain shower. High around 60F. Winds WNW at 10 to 20 mph. The middle of the run has a good number of anglers with the north side of the river anglers having a bit better success than the south side of the river. 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:  Today’s afternoon reports weren’t quite as stellar as yesterday, however there were plenty of Kings, Cohos, along with a steelhead and brown landed.  Of note, our river patrol on the lower beats noticed more salmon moving from the estuary up into the main river than they had on any day previously this year which bodes well for the next few days, (hopefully.)  Tomorrow will start off with mostly cloudy skies, temperatures in the mid-50s, not expected to get beyond 60, with N / NW winds from 8-14 mph and a moderate chance of showers thru the day.   [caption id="attachment_70471" align="alignnone" width="300"] Nice King landed by Levi and Son guided by Brian Ferman of 'High Hook' guide service.[/caption]

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.

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.

Another bright and sunny day in Upstate NY, with the winds from the SE at 10-15mph. We have a high volume of anglers on the run today, mostly in the middle of the run where the fishing is mostly good to moderate. The upper end of the run also is seeing quite a few anglers with the fishing there being moderate, a number of hookups with some being landed. The lower end of the run has a moderate number of anglers having some success. The River Patrol is seeing both Kings and Coho up and down the run. Most of the fish are moving up river, with some holding in the deeper pools. The water temperature was 64F this morning. The flow out of the Dam is 350CFS thru 11:59 pm tonight and out of Pineville 430CFS.

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

After this mornings fog, the weather cleared and gave us a beautiful sunny day with moderate temperatures. Fishing continues to be very good with the greatest fish presence witnessed in the mid and upper sections of the run. 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.

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.

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.

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.

Temperatures remained sub 80 F throughout this week, with a bit of sun here and there but mostly cloudy and cool.  Water temperatures were stable in the mid 60's, with most mornings starting at about 60 F.  The release from the dam stayed at 200 CFS with very minimal rain impacting things.  Based on the reports from our anglers this week there's plenty of smallmouth around, again similar to last week, with cooler temperatures the activity was a bit temperamental.  Most anglers reported action in the early to mid morning, with most efforts focused in the middle and lower sections of the property.  The bass reported this week ranged from about 9" to 19" inches.  The dam release is currently scheduled to remain at 200 CFS until 11:59 PM tonight (6/14).

The weather of late has felt more like November than June. Overcast skies, occasional rain, and unpleasantly cool temperatures with strong westerly winds make for less-than-pleasant conditions on the run. Nevertheless, a few anglers are still having some success in pursuit of smallmouth with one of 20 inches being brought to hand today. Water from the dam remains at 200cfs and the current level at the Pineville gauge is 324cfs.

I guess Spring is over and Summer has begun. High overnight temperatures and a high during the day of 83 degrees resulted in rapidly rising water temperatures. Early this morning the water temperature was 61 degrees and by mid-day had risen to 68. More heat than needed and too soon. Tomorrow's forecast calls for even warmer temperatures than today with high's getting into the mid- to upper 80's. Reports of fishing over the weekend indicate that although there were cooler temperatures, the fishing was slower than it was today. The few anglers that joined us today did, however, have some success with the bass. Good numbers and good sized bass well. Water from the dam remains at the base summer flow of 215cfs and the current flow at Pineville is 277cfs

While we've seen off and on rain and heavy overcast, air and water temperatures have steadily risen over the week.  Morning water temperatures at the start of the week were a recorded 54 F, and today 60 F, reaching about 64 F by mid day despite fairly heavy overcast. A reduction in the dam release mid week from 500 CFS to 350 CFS,  likely contributed to the fairly quick increase in the water temps.   Overall, a majority of the anglers that joined us this week indicated productive outings with mostly smallmouth bass reported, with the addition of a couple of lingering drop-back steelhead.  Also typical for this time of year, reports of gar in the lower sections of the property.  According to Safewaters, the dam release was adjusted mid day today, from 350 to 215 CFS, where it is currently scheduled to remain until 11:59 PM tomorrow (5/18).  Please monitor safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for updated dam release scheduling.

I don't know who was responsible for the weather forecast today, but they got it all wrong. This morning was on target with temperatures in the mid-60's and a mixture of sun and clouds, but this afternoon things went downhill. Overcast, rain throughout the afternoon and temperatures in the high 40's. Pretty miserable. Hopefully, tomorrows forecast which is calling for mix of sun and clouds and temperatures in the low to mid-60's, will be on target. We had several anglers join us on the run and the reports were that fishing was decent. Good numbers of smallmouth came out to play and there are still Steelhead in the mix. I talked to an angler this afternoon that was fishing upriver and he reported that there are still good numbers of fish (which means that there are still mor to come). The flow from the dam will remain at 350cfs and the current flow at Pineville is 542cfs.

The weather this morning was cloudy, overcast, and cooler than we had expected, but by this afternoon the skies lightened up, the sun came out, and temperatures rose well into the 60's. It ended up being a beautiful Spring day. The anglers that fished the run today reported getting into a few Steelhead and bass today. As is usually the case, some did better that others, but overall I would say that it was a decent day. While it's hard to establish a pattern (with changing weather and water flow) it does seem that the drop back season is winding down. It looks like the weather will be more consistent for the next several days, the water flow will be dropping to 350cfs at midnight tonight, and that should allow us to get a better idea as to the state of affairs. Flow from the dam is currently (pun intended) at 500cfs but will be going to 350cfs at midnight tonight and the flow at Pineville is presently 560cfs (which is down from 660cfs earlier today) which suggests that they may have already dropped the water from the dam.

Today was, in many ways, the opposite of yesterday. Today we had significantly cooler temperatures than yesterday, we had sunny skies in the morning that gave way to clouds in the afternoon and today it was the other way around, and the fishing was clearly much improved from yesterday. The anglers that I spoke with rather than describing it as "tough" thought, overall, the fishing was very good. Clearly more Steelhead were brought to hand and significantly more smallmouth bass came out to play today. We will have some cold overnight temperatures in the forecast for the next couple of days and we'll have to wait and see how that plays out. The flow is to remain at 500cfs from the dam through midnight tomorrow and the current flow at the Pineville gauge is 641cfs (and holding steady).

Today was a 50-50 kind of a day. Weather-wise this morning was sunny with relatively little wind and this afternoon the front rolled in and it became cloudy, overcast, and windy. The fishing 50-50 as well. Of the anglers that I spoke with, about half struggled to get into any fish and the other half found some success. Not great success and not the numbers of recent days, but still a decent day. The smallmouth seemed to be evasive as there were very little reports of smallmouth success, but that may have been due to the fact that our guests were focused on catching Steelhead. Overall, the consensus was that today was a "slower" and "tough" day. The water temperatures was reported as 45 early this morning and by noon had risen to 51 degrees.

CFS at the dam started at 1000, at noon dropped to 750, and is currently scheduled to drop further to 500 at 2 PM tomorrow - CFS at the Pineville gauge started at 1270 and ended at 913 - air temperatures hovered in the high 40s - overcast skies, with light sprinkling - winds were generally moderate. I was only able to speak to a handful of our guests - most were able to at least get a few tugs, or fight a Steelhead momentarily, with those brought to hand in the typical 6# range, although a guest reported a much larger one popping his 12# leader "like a flimsy thread". Featured in the picture is a nice Smallmouth Bass brought to hand today. Tonight's forecast: "Rain showers this evening with overcast skies overnight. Low around 45F. Winds SE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 40%.". Tomorrow's forecast: "Cloudy with rain developing later in the day. High 63F. Winds SSE at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 70%.".

Not all the anglers coming off the river this afternoon/evening had a challenging day. One group landed several nice sized Smallmouth and a Steelhead. This morning an 8-inch Rainbow and 20-inch Smallmouth were brought to hand. This same angler also hooked a Steelhead, this action was in the middle of the run. One of our guests caught sight of an Osprey and an Eagle, not sure if they caught anything. Tonight, cloudy with periods of rain. Low 49F. Winds ESE at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 80%. Rainfall around a quarter of an inch. Tomorrow, it will be cloudy with occasional light rain. High 52F. Winds SE at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 70%.

A beautiful sunny day with reasonable temperatures and little wind. We could have done with a little less sunshine as that, combined with the higher water level, made things difficult for our anglers today. There were Steelhead and smallmouth brought to hand but I spoke with a number of anglers that came up empty today which is indicative of today's fishing being not quite at yesterdays level. I'm hopeful that with the drop of water and the forecast for clouds, that tomorrow will be another good day for Steelhead and Smallmouth. The water temperature this morning was 45 degrees and by noon had risen to 50. The flow at the dam remains at 1000cfs but at 9:00AM tomorrow the water will go to 750cfs. The current flow at Pineville is 1260cfs (and that, too, will begin to drop after 9:00AM)

A rather unpleasant start to the day with overcast skies and a cold wind coming off the lake but things improved as the day progressed ending up with reasonable temperatures, dying wind and not a cloud in the sky. Throughout the day we received excellent reports of fishing from the anglers with all that I spoke with getting into at least (most did more) and large smallmouth in good numbers were in the mix. The kind of day that we all hope for when we come fishing. Water temperatures were in the mid-40's to start the day and ended near 50 at the end. Perfect for drop back's and smallmouth alike. The current flow from the dam is 750cfs until 9:00PM tonight at which point it will go to 900cfs. The flow at Pineville is 905cfs (but it, too, will be on the rise)

The weather cooperated, for the most part today.  Some wind, and a few quick stints of fairly heavy rain.  But otherwise temperatures remained comfortable hanging in the mid 50's throughout the day with plenty of overcast.  Water temperatures began a reported 44 F and only increased to 45 F by mid day.  After rain yesterday and again today, run off continues to keep the Pineville gauge up, with a current flow of 566 CFS.  Despite the continued runoff, water clarity was not reported to be an issue today.  Based on reports from our anglers, today was definitely a good day.  Both comfortable and productive.  Anglers filtered onto the property beginning at first light through mid afternoon.  Ultimately it sounds like this morning fished the best, with most reporting fish right off the bat, and then bit of a lull carrying into the afternoon.  With another good turnout today, a majority of the run was covered, but upper sections of the property indicated the greatest success with a mix of well mended drop-backs and a few fresh steelhead.  At this time the dam release is scheduled to increase from 295 to 750 CFS at 9:00 PM tonight (4/14), where it is scheduled to remain until 11:59 PM tomorrow night (4/15).  Please monitor safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for updated dam release scheduling.

Odds certainly weren't in the angler's favor, with some pretty tough weather conditions today.  The winds were the biggest hurdle, holding around 20 MPH with gusts reaching 40 MPH.  Along with the high winds, a steady rain added to the chill, with temperatures in the 40's but a real feel of about 32 F.  Despite these less than desirable conditions, quite a few anglers joined us over the course of the day.  Most making rather short outings given the conditions, but quite a few anglers were successful, reporting activity on par with this past week, with mostly drop-back steelhead with a couple of fresh steelhead reported in the mix.  The middle section reported the most success  and attention, offering a bit of shelter from the winds.  The dam release is currently scheduled to remain at 295 CFS until 11:59 PM tomorrow (4/14).  Please monitor safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for updated dam release scheduling.

CFS at the dam 295 (until midnight tomorrow), CFS at the Pineville gauge started at 430 and ended at 442 - water was initially a bit stained, clearing in the late morning - air temperatures ranged from the mid 50s to mid 60s - overcast skies, with light sprinkling primarily in the morning - winds were generally moderate, with a few gusts. With a couple of exceptions, our guests were able to get into at least a few Steelhead each, in the typical 6# to 10# range, although a guest reported a much larger one straightening his hook out. Beads under bobbers, a baby blue jig with a white body and tail under a bobber, and a swung egg-sucking leech pattern all accounted for Steelhead, while a small floating minnow lure was very effective for those guests who mainly targeted Smallmouth Bass today. Tonight's forecast: "A steady rain this evening. Showers continuing overnight. Low 58F. Winds SE at 15 to 25 mph. Chance of rain 100%. Rainfall near a quarter of an inch. Winds could occasionally gust over 40 mph.". Tomorrow's forecast: "Rain early...then remaining cloudy with showers in the afternoon. Thunder possible. High 63F. Winds SSW at 15 to 25 mph.

Beautiful blue skies, negligible wind, and temperatures in the low 70's. What more could you ask for? How about excellent Steelhead fishing? We had that as well. Today was the day that we have been waiting for. The elements must all have come together because the fish showed up in far greater numbers that we have seen so far this drop back season.. Those that were swinging flies got into Steelhead today (and that should tell you something). I spoke with many happy, satisfied and grateful anglers today. Fish seemed to be in all the spots you would expect them to be and reports are that there are still plenty of fish upstream that will be making their way down. Water temperature approached 50 degrees late this afternoon and with the 60 degrees and rain in the forecast for tomorrow, things are shaping up very nicely. Water from the dam remains at 295 cfs and at Pineville the flow is 436 cfs.

An interesting day, to say the least, on the run today. Most of the guests that fished the run today were individuals that we haven't seen since salmon season, but wanted to combine some Spring Steelhead fishing with a once-in-a-lifetime total solar eclipse. It was great seeing so many old friends. The clouds came in and occasionally would part long enough to see the progression of the eclipse and the, around 3:20 things got very dark, very quickly. The difference between 95% solar coverage and totality was the difference between night and day. Literally. Things got eerily quite, birds went silent, and the air got noticeably colder. Quite the experience. I know it's a cliché to say "cool", but that's what it was. Very cool and glad we could experience it. In terms of fishing, the smallmouth bass are playing hard to get, but I think with the warmer temperatures in the forecast, things could change very quickly. The Steelhead, however, aren't as elusive as they have been of late. Anglers are being much more successful hooking fish nd bringing them to hand. Still not crazy numbers but we are now getting reports of anglers getting into multiple fish rather that "a fish here and a fish there." The numbers are increasing and with a seventy degree in the forecast for tomorrow, things should continue to improve.

We started the day with some frost, but things warmed up quickly with bright blue skies all day, reaching into the upper 50's.  Certainly a lack of overcast, but that didn't deter anglers from enjoying a beautiful day on the water, steelhead fishing.  Quite a few anglers joined us right off the bat this morning, and were able to get a few hours in before winds picked up mid morning, with the majority of anglers reporting at least a steelhead brought to hand, and if not had quite a few on.  Efforts were pretty wide spread on the property today, with anglers covering the property top to bottom. Most anglers were able to find success in the middle sections again, specifically in the deeper pools.  All reports were of drop back steelhead, with the exception of a brown trout landed. Water temperatures began at 40 F this morning, and reach about 45 F mid day. The dam release is currently scheduled to remain at 295 CFS until 11:59 PM tomorrow (4/8).  Please monitor safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for updated dam release scheduling.

With another day of a 295 CFS release, we were all hopeful just a bit of consistency might turn things back on after the significant drop we saw earlier in the week.  Based on reports from our anglers today, it seems activity picked up ever so slightly, but still was rather difficult with a lack of overcast on low clear water.  Most of the action reported earlier in the day, and specifically in the lower and middle sections of the property, with little reported in the upper sections.  Given the sun, deeper pools reported the best activity today.

Our few morning guests were able to get into a solitary Steelhead. Our afternoon guests were able to get into a handful of decent Steelhead and even two smallish resident Brown Trout - degree of angling success, as usual, depended upon time spent on the water today - one guest reported seeing another guest bring to hand a Smallmouth Bass, however I could not confirm that first hand - it's about that time of the year, however, for the bass to nose into the run - egg sacks under bobbers, or bounced along the bottom produced today. Tonight's forecast: "Rain and snow this evening transitioning to snow showers overnight. Low 32F. Winds N at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of precipitation 90%." Tomorrow's forecast: "Snow showers becoming mixed with rain later. High near 40F. Winds NW at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of precip 50%.".

Overcast skies today with some light drizzle coming in late this afternoon and the wind was brutal today. Coming straight downriver made things difficult for our anglers today. It did relent toward the end of the day but by that time most of our anglers had left the run. Still, the few anglers that I spoke with most of them were able to bring a few fish to hand. The occasional sucker is showing up and one Brown Trout was also in the mix. Cooler temperatures tomorrow (in the low forties), breezy in the morning, and periods of rain throughout the day. It looks like the power company changed their minds as the water is not scheduled to go up to 1500 cfs at 9:00PM as originally scheduled, but will remain at 1200 cfs through midnight tomorrow (the 3rd).

Hopefully, the water level will be coming down over the next several days and, if so, that would help.

While things will be a little cooler over the next several day with temperatures in the low to mid-forties there is no rain forecast in the near-term. Fishing improved today from what it had been recently and that is very encouraging. While there weren't a great many anglers on the run today, the majority of those that joined us were able to get in to a Steelhead and multiple anglers were able to get into multiple fish. Hopefully, this pattern continues and continues on the upward trend. The water from the dam will be going up to 1200 cfs at 8:00PM this evening (which must be due to snow melt in the upper drainage) and the current flow at Pineville is 1010 cfs (and on the rise)

Well at least the wind wasn't out of the East like yesterday (meaning straight down river) but it still blew pretty hard. More manageable at cross-river, but still making things difficult. The fish aren't cooperating either. Not sure what is going on right now, but things have become pretty difficult. The water temperature reported by one angler this afternoon was 48 degrees. We should be seeing more Steelhead with those numbers, but is not the case. Inexplicably, the fish seem to holding upriver and taking their time journeying back to the lake.

Water temperature started at 35 degrees this morning, 40 at 2:00PM and we had a late report of the temperature going up some more this afternoon.

CFS at the dam 500 - the current forecast is to midnight tomorrow - CFS at the Pineville gauge 660 - water temperature 39 degrees, air temperatures started at 30 degrees, then fell and rose between 27 to 33 degrees all day - overcast skies, with periods of light, fine grained, snow alternating with near whiteout heavy snow conditions - winds were generally light and variable. A couple of guests fished the morning only, hooking into two Steelhead each, both bright chrome and obvious fallbacks, some hefty. A few fished the afternoon only, with similar results, and the high hook today achieving 2 / 5 Steelhead, drifting both beads and egg sacks (eggs better for hard strikes and takes), after fishing top to bottom of the run. Tonight's forecast: "Snow this evening will give way to lingering snow showers late. Low 32F. Winds SW at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of snow 90%. Snow accumulating 1 to 3 inches."

Colder temperatures, overcast skies, snow flurries, and a nuisance wind were todays conditions. I guess Spring isn't quite ready to settle in yet. The few anglers that fished the run today seemed to have some luck hooking into multiple fish, but bringing them to hand was a different story. Still, talking to the anglers that hooked into fish, it was obvious that they still had a pleasurable and enjoyable outing.

A calm start to the day with plenty of overcast, quickly turned into high winds with few clouds and quite a bit of sun but only about 40 F.   Most of our anglers joined us mid morning, just in time for the wind.  With winds hanging between 10-15 MPH and gusts up to 30 MPH things were certainly tricky today.  Based on reports from our anglers, it was a bit of grind between the elements and following up a fairly heavily pressured weekend, but seemed to be on par again with the activity we've seen the last few days.  Efforts were pretty wide spread throughout the property, with some attempts made in the lower sections of the property but ultimately proving to be unproductive for most contending with winds.  With the water back down to a reasonably wadable flow, some anglers ventured to the upper sections of the property and were able to find a few fish and seek some refuge from the high winds.  But once again, the middle section prevailed, and seemed to be the most productive for anglers today. The dam release is currently scheduled to remain at 500 CFS until 11:59 PM tomorrow (3/18).  Please monitor safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for updated dam release scheduling.

Being such a minor reduction in flows and it taking several hours to see the affects of the drop here on the lower end of the river, it didn't seem like it impacted the fishing much today.  Based on the reports from our anglers, fishing remained on par, with an 'okay'  but tough day today.  Most anglers were able to manage at least one fish to hand in their short outings.  The dam release is currently scheduled to remain at 750 CFS until 11:59 PM tomorrow night (3/15).  Please monitor safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for updated dam release scheduling.

Thankfully the winds of yesterday subsided and the clouds gave way to clear skies and warmer temperatures. Those factors contributed to a number of anglers fishing the run today. A brown trout and a number of drop-back Steelhead rewarded our anglers for their effort, but not in great numbers. The higher water continues to make things less-than-idea, but it looks like things will be begin to change in that regard. The scheduled water release from the dam is currently 1200 cfs but will be going down to 1000 cfs at 7:00AM tomorrow. The current flow at Pineville is 1640 cfs but hat should be dropping tomorrow as well. Hopefully this trend, long with warming temperatures will continue throughout the week.

Today's conditions certainly weren't for the faint of heart.  Steady rain, and a SE wind at about 20 MPH with gusts up to 38 MPH made for a rather difficult day.  Several anglers joined us for short outings today given the conditions.  Based on the reports from these anglers, each were able to land at least one steelhead, but between the driving winds and rain they didn't come easy.  It was one of those days, no matter where you went on the property, there just wasn't that perfect spot to seek some cover from the elements.  These anglers covered quite a bit of ground, but the middle section was reported to be the most fruitful. Forecasts call for similar weather conditions tomorrow, with temperatures dropping into the 30's with rain likely turning to snow.  The current dam release is scheduled to remain at 1200 CFS until 11:59 PM tomorrow night (3/10).  Please monitor safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for updated dam release scheduling.

Not the weather we had yesterday, but temperatures in the mid-fifties at this time of year is not something that I'm going to complain about. The wind was a little bit of a nuisance, but overall a very good day to be on the run. While the weather did not improve from yesterday the fishing certainly did. Nearly all anglers that I spoke with today had a good day bringing multiple fish to hand. A mix of a few spawned out fish but numerous fresh chrome in the 7-9 pound range. The consistent warmer days and nights that we've experienced recently appear to be having the predictable effect of the fishery. We're starting see better numbers of fresh and drop-back steelhead. The flow from the dam remains at 500 cfs through 7:00PM this evening at which point it will be going to 1200 cfs (which is a little surprising giving the absence of snow and rainfall). Flow at Pineville is currently 755 cfs (but, of course, that will be on the rise as well)

A beautiful day on the run. Certainly for this time of year, but at any time this weather is hard to beat. Temperatures into the 60's, sunny skies with little wind to speak of. Good water levels, water temperature starting out this morning around 40 degrees and rising a couple of degrees over the course of the day. And no snow anywhere. The anglers that fished the run today had a great day regardless of the fishing success. Still about half our anglers were able to get into a fish and some got into a couple. Fish brought to had were reported to be spawned out fish. With the water temperatures on the rise, I would anticipate the drop-back fishing will be steadily improving over the course of the next several weeks.

Temperatures began in the low 40's and reached just into the lower 50's, with very little wind and heavy overcast, making pretty optimal conditions.  Anglers trickled onto the run, with most starting their outings mid morning.  Based on the reports we received from anglers today, it sounds like having a 500 CFS has been a great opportunity to cover water, and in order to find fish you certainly had to cover some ground.  Most anglers today reported hooking into at least a fish, with a few anglers fortunate to land a couple.  The fish reported today were a mix of fresh, colored up, and spawned out fish.  It's certainly become clear based on the recent fish activity we have seen, and the steadily increasing number of drop backs showing up, we are in a transitional period.  The dam release is scheduled to remain at 500 CFS until 11:59 PM tonight (3/3).  Please monitor safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for update dam release scheduling.

Not quite as cold as yesterday, but that didn't seem to help the fishing much. Still had clear skies and bright sunshine and that couldn't have helped. The angler's (just a few) that I spoke with worked hard for them today; covering lots of water and putting time in. Another tough day. If it were March I would be thinking that the fish or in that "transition" period and maybe, given this years relatively mild winter, that might be the case. We will be experiencing a warm up over the next few days and the temperatures for next week don't look all that bad so , optimistically, things will change in a positive direction.

Clouds

A few brave souls joined us to battle the elements, with fairly steady snowfall and winds around 10-15 MPH with gusts up to 30 MPH.  Temperatures began at about 20 F again this morning, making for another later start for most of our anglers.  Despite the wind being a big hurdle today, if you were able to get out of the wind a bit and get some good drifts in,  it sounds like the fishing was 'okay'.  Anglers indicated a slow pick, but a little bit more activity than the past few days it seems.  The dam release is currently to remain at 750 CFS until 11:59 PM tonight (2/18).  Please monitor safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for update dam release scheduling.

With the day starting at 20 F and only reaching about 25 F, it was a late start for most anglers.  Winds picked up gradually over the course of the day making a cold day, even colder.  Needless to say, given today's conditions the outings were short, and sweet for just a few.  Today was windy, tomorrow is expected to be windier, with wind 14-18 MPH  and gusts up to 34 MPH expected.  The dam release is currently scheduled to remain at 750 CFS until 11:59 PM tomorrow (2/18).  For updated dam release scheduling please monitor safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill

Yesterday's snow and high winds carried into the night making for a slushy, and icy morning.  Despite being a fairly cold and windy day, we had quite a bit of sunshine.  Overall, given the conditions, it was a rather quiet day on the run.  Most of our anglers joined us mid morning, and stuck it out for the greater part of the day.  Based on the reports, fishing was 'okay' with most of the day spent fighting wind, chipping ice and finding holes out of direct sunlight.  Forecasts indicate some more of the same this weekend, with temperatures expected to drop to about 20 F by sunrise tomorrow, and reach a high of 26 F by noon.  The dam release is currently scheduled to remain at 750 CFS until 11:59 PM tomorrow (2/17).  Please monitor safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for update dam release information.

CFS at the dam 500, and is projected to rise to 750 at 6:15 PM tonight - CFS at the Pineville gauge remained at 695 throughout the day - air temperatures started at 16 degrees and only rose to 29 degrees as of this report - skies alternated between overcast in the early morning, through partly cloudy into clear with brilliant sunshine, now hazy blue with weak sunshine - winds were generally light, with occasional gusts. Our guests checked-in mid-morning - the middle section was productive, with egg sacks under a bobber what the Steelhead wanted today - the Steelhead were, on average, in the 6# range - Tonight's forecast: "Partly cloudy skies. A few flurries or snow showers possible. Low 18F. Winds NNW at 10 to 20 mph." Tomorrow's forecast: "Becoming cloudy with snow likely in the afternoon. High 34F. Winds SE at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of snow 100%. Snow accumulating 1 to 3 inches.". NOTE: a reminder, as we approach much colder air temperatures, that fish must be kept wholly in the water throughout the release process, with a very brief lift for a photograph, and never laid out on the ground. In these sub-freezing temperatures, prolonged exposure to the air will damage their gills through freezing, and contact with the ground in any temperature will always remove their protective slime or damage them internally as they flop.

Overcast skies and some snow flurries during the afternoon with temperatures in the mid-thirties made it feel a little bit more like winter. Nothing serious but damp and cold made things a little less than pleasant. Several anglers fished the run today and of those that I spoke with had limited success. A couple fish hooked but fewer brought to hand. The weather looks a little more promising tomorrow with sunshine in the forecast and slightly warmer temperatures. The flow from the dam remains at 500cfs and the flow at Pineville is 702cfs (dropping slightly)

Conditions were slightly colder and much windier today, with temperatures dropping back down into the 30's.   With a few days of a consistent 500 CFS release we were hopeful to see a little increase in activity.  A steady stream of anglers joined us on the run throughout the morning, with most making their way off by early afternoon.  Overall, based on the reports we received from our anglers today, fishing was similar to yesterday with nearly all anglers report at least a hook up, but only a few were able to land a couple.  Sounded like today's big obstacle was ultimately the wind.  The dam release is currently scheduled to remain at 500 CFS until 11:59 PM tonight (2/11).  Please monitor safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for updated dam release scheduling.

A high of 51 F and just some brief rain, made for another extremely comfortable day of steelhead fishing.  While expectations weren't set extremely high for the day with the activity over the past couple of days, given the conditions quite a number of anglers joined us, most starting mid morning.  Overall, results were split.  About half of our anglers were able to get a fish or two, while half were able to hook one but not successful in landing.  With the water back down to a 500 release and allowing for crossing, angling efforts were spread over most the property.  The dam release is currently scheduled to remain at 500 CFS until 11:59 PM tonight (2/10).  Please monitor safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for updated dam release scheduling.

Another cold overnight, and a warm day with temperatures beginning in the 30's and making it near 60 F.  The dam release was adjusted last night from 750 CFS to 500 CFS, putting a big question mark on how today might pan out.  A lighter turnout of anglers compared to yesterday, with most anglers joining us mid morning.  While forecasts had called for a cloudy day, we saw quite a bit of blue skies and just a touch of wind.  Conditions really couldn't get more comfortable.  Overall, similar to yesterday, most anglers had rather tough time with just a few able to find some active steelhead today.  At this time the dam release is currently scheduled to remain at 500 CFS until 11:59 PM tomorrow (2/10).  Please monitor safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for updated dam release scheduling.

CFS at the dam 750, and is projected to remain there until midnight tonight - CFS at the Pineville gauge started at 1010 and bumped up slightly to 1020 by the end of the day - air temperatures started at 26 degrees and climbed to 36 degrees as of this report - we had partly cloudy skies in the morning, then wholly overcast skies for the entire afternoon - winds were light, which made for a very pleasant day on the run. Our guests checked-in from just after opening time until late afternoon - those who fished only a few hours, and left before noon, were not rewarded - all those who put in the time, and walked in search of fish, were rewarded with anywhere from one to five fighting Steelhead, albeit mostly on the smaller side today, with only a few larger ones in the mix - two lucky guests also brought to hand three Brown Trout between them, one a nice 20" - remarkably, our last guest exiting the run reported that he battled a big Chinook Salmon in prime condition! Flies, egg sacks, and beads all produced today. Tonight's forecast: "Some clouds. Low near 30F. Winds ESE at 5 to 10 mph." Tomorrow's forecast: "A mix of clouds and sun in the morning followed by cloudy skies during the afternoon. High 49F. Winds SE at 5 to 10 mph.". Sounds like a perfect day to come on down!

An even better day today than yesterday. Warmer temperatures, no wind to speak of and lots of sunshine. Every angler, regardless of whether or not they got into fish today enjoyed the fishing and "just getting out". Some were rewarded with the additional bonus of getting into a fish or two. The anglers that I spoke with covered lots of water; in part to find fish but also because it was such a nice day. No snow or ice to deal with which makes covering the run a lot easier. Next couple of days look similar to today with temperatures approaching 50 on Thursday. Is this early February?? Water from the dam will remain at 750cfs and the flow at Pineville is 1030cfs (both pretty much unchanged for the past several days)

Another nice day with moderate temperatures and plenty of sunshine. The extended forecast is looking promising with plenty of sun in the forecast and no rain until Friday. The flow from the dam will remain at 750 cfs through midnight tomorrow which should add to the favorable fishing conditions. The one angler that I was able to speak with today, fished the afternoon and had a very decent day with the lower section of the run being the most productive. Current flow from the dam is 750 cfs and at Pineville the flow is 1030 cfs

A cold start to the morning, made for a late start for most of our anglers.  Despite the thick frost this morning, it turned out to be a beautiful 'winter' day in the mid 30's.  However, having quite a bit of sunshine made for a rather difficult day for most of our anglers it seemed.  Overall, most anglers reported just a single fish landed today, with a few others hooked but not landed.  The dam release is currently scheduled to remain at 750 CFS until 11:59 PM tomorrow ( 2/5).  Please monitor safewaters.com/lighthouse-hill ahead of any upcoming trips.

While a mid-day dam adjustment isn't ideal, a handful of anglers made the most of it spending the greater part of the day on the run.  With the adjustment taking place at 9:00 AM this morning, we saw the affects around 1 this afternoon.  Based on the reports we received from our anglers today things were tough as expected, with the sun making an appearance as the water dropped. The dam release is scheduled to remain at the current 750 CFS until 11:59 PM tomorrow (2/4).  Please be sure to monitor scheduled flows via safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill ahead of any upcoming trips

Another day of fair weather, with temperatures just a bit colder today remaining in the 30's.  The release from the dam remained at 1500 CFS today, with the Pineville gauge still holding around 300 CFS higher at 1860 CFS.  Overall, based on the reports we received from our anglers today, some anglers managed to land a few fish, but most seemed to have a hard time finding fish with the continued high water.   The dam release is scheduled to be reduced from 1500 CFS to 1000 CFS at 9:00 PM tonight (2/2), and then again be reduced from 1000 CFS to 750 CFS at 9:00 AM tomorrow (2/3).
