Went out a few times this last week and did catch some fish. But it’s starting to slow down now. there are some cromers still in the river but we are getting allot of spawned out fish. The river has been staying cold though. It was 48 degrees yesterday below the dam.

The last few days the water has stayed about the same level. Even though its higher than hell. The water has about 2 foot visibality. We started out using choker bags. Chart. with grape skein. Took a few cast then i had a fish on. It was a nice chrome steely. Third cast after that i hit another one but this time when i set the hook it came straight at me like a rocket and there was to much slack on the fish and i lost it. The next drift after i put a new bag on BAMMMM I had one hit so hard the float went over a foot before i set the hook. But then one of my buddies tryed to dip net it and hit it in the head and then that came off. We fished our spot for another 2 hours and hit fish, if not every drift every other. Both east and west where hitting fish. then moved around and then we moved and we hitt a few fish every where we moved to. Still allot of fish in the river. there was only 2 boats in the water.

Both east and west side where hitting fish. I was the only boat in the River. No one else was around!!!. I was 34 for 15 today. Water temp still holding around 45 degrees

It’s been a great season so far. even though we have been having some rain the water has still been about 2 to 3 feet visibability. Temp is about 45 degrees right now. But up close to the dam we have been hitting fishing on choker bags and then mixing um up with some smaller bags as well. Fishing are still going strong on wobble glows. And the shore anglers are hitting um with yarn and about 8 foot leaders. I went out yesterday and hit about 40 fish. Landed 12. I’ve been using 12 to 14 lb main line and 10 pound leader. and using a huge float with a 1 ounce sinker to get it in the hole quick. there’s been allot of light biters. Float isnt going all the way down so make sure your on um when they hit or you’ll be shit out of luck catching um. fulton street bridge has been taking a few fish as well as bridge street. I would say from today we have about 3 weeks of fishing left for steelies in the river. We are still getting allot of tight hens. And the males arent all beat up yet. So the spawn is still going strong. Dont be afraid to mover away from the dam either. there is some nice gravel down stream. Fish it, and you will be yelling FISH ON!!!

The water is high right now but that is not stopping the fish from coming up river. Fish bigger weights to get down there and about 4 to 8 foot leader with some yarn or spawn sacks. Few guys are using Floats but most fish have been taking by dead drifting flies and yarn.
