Wednesday was another nice day with blue skies, plenty of sunshine and the temperature reached into the 40’s. The upper end of the river between Altmar and Pineville continues to get the most fishing pressure on a daily basis. The warm weather has helped break up the shelf ice in the lower end of the river and anglers are now fishing the Town Pool, Longbridge/Staircase, Black Hole and the mid to upper section of the DSR. Now that we have more fishable water in the lower end of the river, it should help take some of the pressure off the Altmar area and give anglers more room to spread out. We’ve been getting mixed reports from anglers, some groups are doing well, while others are not. Anglers who are float fishing have had success with blue or pink egg sacs, trout beads or pink worms. Anglers who are fly fishing have done well with small black stoneflies, hare’s ear, double bead head stoneflies and san juan worms. The deep holes continue to produce the most action on a daily basis. Anglers are fishing the Lower Fly Zone, Schoolhouse Pool, Wire Hole, Ellis Cove, Bovines, Trestle Pool, Ace in the Hole, Sportsman Pool, Papermill, Town Pool, Longbridge/Staircase, Black Hole and upper section of DSR.SUGGESTED PATTERNS:
