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.

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.

Not quite the warm weather we've been seeing lately, but still warm for this time of year with temperatures remaining in the 50's.  Despite a few stints of light rain, conditions remained comfortable on the water with a mix of sun and clouds.  Overall, based on the reports we received from our River Patrol and the anglers we spoke with, it was a rather productive day, and clearly activity has picked up.  Again, it seems the majority of the fish activity continues to be reported in the early morning.  Upper and lower sections reported the greatest angling pressure, with light pressure reported in the middle sections.  Reports from all sections indicated moderate to good success, with quite a few larger fish steelhead reported in the mix today. (Pictured below; Andy fishing w/ Capt. Mike Ford of Reel Addicted Sportfishing)  Today, primarily steelhead were reported.  At this time the dam release is scheduled to remain at 290 CFS until 11:59 PM tonight (11/6).  Please monitor safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for updated dam release scheduling.  REMINDER: DSR's staggered release has concluded as of 10/27.  ALL anglers will be released onto the property after check-in.  Please see below for our updated as well as upcoming hours of operation, check-in and afternoon pass sale times.

Conditions got a bit tougher as the day progressed with cloud cover disappearing, ultimately giving way to bright blue skies and bringing water temperatures up to a reported 58 F by this afternoon.  With that said, anglers reported greater activity this morning with moderate action, landing a mix of brown trout and steelhead in the upper sections of the run.  Reports this afternoon varied, but the consensus was things quieted down as the sun hit the water, with lower sections reporting a bit more activity, but light overall.   At this time the dam release is scheduled to remain at 290 CFS until 11:59 PM tonight (11/5).  Please monitor safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for updated dam release scheduling.  REMINDER: DSR's staggered release has concluded as of 10/27.  ALL anglers will be released onto the property after check-in.  Please see below for our updated as well as upcoming hours of operation, check-in and afternoon pass sale times.

A near freezing start to the morning with temperatures finally making it out of the 30's, but strong winds (gusts 28 mph+) made the 50 F mid day temperature feel more like low 40's.  While conditions weren't necessarily comfortable, most of our anglers made their way onto the run first thing this morning, with most hanging it up by the early afternoon after contending with the winds.  With a lack of sunshine and an abundance of cloud coverage, water temperatures topped out around 46  F.  Overall, based on the reports we received from our River Patrol and the anglers we spoke with today, for most, the morning was more productive reporting moderate angling success in the middle and upper sections of the run, while this afternoon, the lower most sections of the property took the spotlight, but reports from both indicated a mix of steelhead and brown trout.  At this time the dam release is scheduled to remain at 290 CFS until 11:59 PM tonight (11/4).  Please monitor safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for updated dam release scheduling.  REMINDER: DSR's staggered release has concluded as of 10/27.  ALL anglers will be released onto the property after check-in.  Please see below for our updated as well as upcoming hours of operation, check-in and afternoon pass sale times.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

5:00pm River Patrol Fishing Report:  Flow from the dam is 350 cfs; Pineville gauge is 430 cfs; water temperature is currently 66 degrees.  The increased sunlight and diminished cloud cover didn’t seem to be attractive to the Salmon on the run for the most part.  Reports from the lower portions indicated guest volume as low to moderate with low angling success, (primarily Kings.)  Moving up to the middle portions guest concentration was listed as moderate with both Kings and Cohos in the mix.  The upper section had moderate to heavy guest volume with primarily Cohos brought to hand. Sunday’s weather outlook is for temperatures to be around 60 degrees and sunup, topping out in the low to mid 70s, with light easterly winds and a slight chance of precipitation.

5pm River Patrol Fishing Report:  CFS at the dam is 350; CFS at the Pineville gauge is 460; water temperature taken at 4:45pm was 64 degrees.  We continue to have a strong showing of Coho Salmon throughout the length of the run, although Kings remain the prominent species.  As seems to be the ‘norm’ for the afternoon report, the middle to upper stretches, (except for the very top of the run), seem to produce more angling opportunities / fish brought to hand than the lower sections.  Plenty of Salmon were seen in both channels near the estuary, but they still seem intent upon circling in their location rather than making the move up-river.  Tomorrow’s forecast has temperatures starting in the low 60s climbing to the mid-70s by afternoon with light winds coming from the east with chances of precipitation capping out at 15%.

A damp and dreary start to the day, but we ended up with clear blue skies carrying into the afternoon.  Despite the lack of cloud coverage this afternoon temperatures reached only 70 F, keeping things comfortable on the water.  Based on the reports we received from our River Patrol and the anglers we spoke with this afternoon, activity remained quiet throughout the afternoon with no major movement reported.  Lower and Upper sections of the property reported the least angling pressure, with the middle sections again having the most concentrated efforts.  Overall, fish activity remained the same throughout the run. 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.

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.

There's been some action from the upper end of the run thru to the middle of the run, with most fish moving up river. Kings the predominant species with Coho's being sighted. The middle down to the lower end of the run has fish moving up river with Kings most sighted, Brown Trout was also noted by River Patrol. The fish in the estuary some are moving up and others are holding in place. The flow out of the dam remains at 350CFS and out of Pineville 500CFS.

The water temperature was 63F this morning. Mild temperatures in the mid 60's and sunny skies have brought the anglers out today. The middle of the run has had a good bit of success with the lower end of the run doing fairly well. The upper end not quite as good as other parts of the run. Kings and Coho's sighted, hooked and landed up and down the run. The fish are predominantly moving up river except in the lower section where they are mainly holding in place. There's been sightings of Steelhead in the upper end of the run. The flow out of the Dam remains at 350CFS and out of Pineville 506CFS.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Well, we started the week with a short-lived 185 CFS release.  Today, we have a 1200 CFS release, to be increased to 2100 CFS at 9:00 PM tonight (8/9).  Several inches of rain over the span of just a few hours today sent a considerable amount of stained runoff into the river, quickly sending the Pineville gauge to about 1760 CFS from it's earlier 1330 CFS. Given today's rainfall the dam release is currently scheduled to increase tonight at 9:00 PM from the current 1200 CFS to 2100 CFS.   Water temperatures continue to remain in the low to mid 70's. - CLOSURE NOTICE: With a scheduled dam release exceeding 2000 CFS, DSR will be closed for fishing tomorrow (8/10) and will be open for office hours only from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.  Please monitor safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for updated dam release scheduling and information.

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.

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.

Another spectacular weather day here on the run with cloudless skies, little wind, and temperatures around 70 degrees It looks like we have some rain in the forecast for the next several days, so it's enjoy it while we can. The anglers that shared this fine weather did not report any Steelhead, but smallmouth bass continue to occupy and entertain. Water will be staying at 750cfs from the dam through midnight tomorrow and the flow at Pineville is 867cfs.

Only a few anglers joined on what turned out to be a truly beautiful day. Early morning fog gave way to plenty of sunshine and comfortable temperatures into the mid-60's. Anglers reported getting into some smallmouth bass , but having to cover considerable time and water in  to bring them to hand. No reports of any Steelhead being hooked today. Water temperature early this morning was 54 degrees rising to 58 by mid day. The water will be dropping to 500cfs at 9:00PM this evening and that should help the fishing tomorrow. The current flow at Pineville is 898cfs, but that, too, will be dropping.

Slightly cooler temperatures and a lack of sunshine seemed to put a bit of a damper on the fishing today.  Most of our anglers joined us first thing this morning, and fished well through the day hoping for things to pick up, but activity remained consistently quiet throughout the day.  Efforts were widespread across the property, with anglers covering just about top to bottom of the property.  Ultimately the middle sections seemed to host the most activity.  Despite forecasted rain, the dam release is currently scheduled to remain at 350 CFS until 11:59 PM tomorrow (5/5).  Please monitor safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for updated dam release scheduling.

It's hard to ask for a more comfortable day to be on the water, fishing.  Temperatures started in the low 40's this morning, but ultimately reached mid 70's by mid day.  While expectations of steelhead start to dwindle as we head into May, there's certainly a glimmer of hope for a few lingering, as we saw earlier this week.  Most anglers reported a handful of bass today, a few 'whoppers', with just one report of an untamable steelhead that got away.  Ultimately, it seemed most anglers were successful in their endeavors, particularly in the middle and upper sections of the property today.  The dam release is currently scheduled to remain at 350 CFS until 11:59 PM tomorrow (5/4).  Please monitor safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for updated dam release scheduling.

The water temperature was 52F at 6am and rose to 54F by 10am. The flow out of the Dam remains at 350CFS through midnight tomorrow night. One of our season pass holders stated that is was windy at the end of the run this morning. While others had real success at the upper end of the run, hooking and landing steelhead and smallmouth bass. And one angler landed 20 small mouth bass on spinners this morning. The clear skies and warmer temperatures seem to suit fishing today. The afternoon guests had just as much success as the morning anglers. One angler met his personal best by landing 15 smallmouth bass and a couple of steelhead. He fished the middle to upper parts of the run. The weather for tonight will have a few passing clouds. Low 46F. Winds light and variable, and for tomorrow sunshine and clouds mixed. High 74F. Winds SE at 5 to 10 mph.

There was quite a bit of action up and down the river, several guests report catching a good number of bass and steelhead, with the lower/middle sections being the most productive areas. The weather for tonight partly cloudy. Low 48F. Winds SSE at 5 to 10 mph. Tomorrows' weather will be partly cloudy. High 58F. Winds WNW at 10 to 15 mph.

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.

Contrary to forecasts, the rain held off this morning, with some off and on showers as we got into the afternoon. Overall, another warm day approaching near 70 F even with the lack of sunshine. Water temperatures began at a reported 50 F and reached about 54 F by mid day. Most of our anglers joined us first thing this morning and fished into the early afternoon ahead some heavy stints of rain. Again, the lack of sunshine seemed to put a damper on the smallmouth activity. While the number of bass reported was lower again today, it seemed to give way to quite a few hungry steelhead. Most angling efforts were concentrated in the middle and lower sections, with the middle reporting the most productivity. The current dam release is scheduled to remain at 500 CFS until 11:59 PM tomorrow (4/29). Please monitor safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for updated dam release scheduling.

Temperatures took quite the dive last night, starting the day out at about 25 F with a thick layer of frost.  Fortunately, temperatures quickly rose and more than doubled, reaching about 59 F by this afternoon.  Overall, conditions were comfortable, but the lack of overcast seemed to be today's hurdle.  Most of our anglers joined us first thing this morning despite the rather frigid temperatures, taking advantage of the fishing before the mid day sun.  Based on the reports that we received, most were successful in landing quite a few smallmouth bass, with just only a couple of reports of steelhead today.  Most angling efforts were concentrated in the middle and lower sections of the run, with the middle section reporting the most productivity.  At this time, the dam release is currently scheduled to remain at 500 CFS until 11:59 PM tomorrow (4/27).  Please monitor safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for updated dam release scheduling.

A cooler day, clear blue skies, and no wind were the conditions that our anglers experienced today. Reports were mixed today with some anglers striking out while others were quite successful in brings Steelhead to hand. No particular section of the river seemed to fish better than any other. Tomorrow's forecast of clear skies and temperatures approaching 60 looks very promising. The water temperature started at 44 degrees and rose to fifty by mid-day in the lower end of the run. Water from the dam is 500cfs through midnight tomorrow and the current flow is 628cfs at Pineville.

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). We had no water temperature readings for today, but there is little doubt that it has cooled down some (and will continue so over the next several days).

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. Water from the dam remains at 500cfs and the flow at Pineville is 641cfs.

CFS at the Pineville gauge 660 - air temperatures hovered in the 40s to 50s - hazy blue skies with brilliant sunshine, and light winds, made for a great day to be outdoors - most of our guests (excepting the couple of guests swinging flies only) were able to get into one or two Steelhead in the 6# to 10# range (although a couple of guests reported losing larger fish), with some bonus modest sized Smallmouth Bass in the mix. The last guest of the evening reported a very good day, with one guest hooking into double digit, all hookups were Steelhead. Tonight's forecast: "A few passing clouds. Low 38F. Winds SSE at 5 to 10 mph.". Tomorrow's forecast: "A mix of clouds and sun early, then becoming cloudy later in the day. Slight chance of a rain shower. High 64F. Winds SSW at 10 to 20 mph.".

Another interesting mixture of conditions today, with a light rain turning to brief snow showers, and then to clear blue skies.  Temperatures dropped into the mid 30's last night, making for a cold start to a late April morning.  Despite the colder morning, most of our anglers joined us early this morning, taking advantage of the overcast before this afternoon's clear blue skies.  Based on reports from our anglers today this morning, a few anglers had success with steelhead, while this afternoon, a majority of the reports were of smallmouth with little mention of steelhead.  Most angling efforts were focused in the middle sections of the property, with a few anglers venturing down to the lower sections but indicating a rather difficult time given the winds.  The current dam release is scheduled to remain at 500 CFS until 11:59 PM tomorrow (4/22).  Please monitor safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for updated dam release scheduling.

Conditions were interesting, with a bit of rain, fairly strong wind and some bright blue skies over the course of the day.  Most of our anglers joined us this morning into the early afternoon, calling it quits after a few hours battling with the winds.  We received a mix of reports, but nearly all anglers reported some sort of action today.  Some anglers reported an equal mix of both steelhead and smallmouth bass, while others reported only smallmouth bass.  Most anglers focused their efforts in the middle and lower sections of the property today, with the middle sections reporting the most success.  The release from the dam is currently scheduled to remain at 500 CFS until 11:59 PM tomorrow (4/21).

Conditions started fair, but ultimately it was another day of pretty heavy rainfall.  Despite continued rainfall, the dam release was adjusted at 2:00 PM this afternoon from 750 CFS to 500 CFS. Based on reports from our anglers today, it was an 'okay' day, with a few more bass reported today than steelhead.  Most efforts were focused in the middle and lower sections of the run, with the middle sections reporting the greatest success.  Water clarity was not reported to be an issue today, but may be a different story tomorrow if the rain keeps this pace.  The dam release is currently scheduled to remain at 500 CFS until 11:59 PM tomorrow night (4/20).   Please monitor safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for updated dam release scheduling.

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.

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%.
