Just a short note. The release has been increased to 335cfs, same release as last year this time. Right now the gauge at Pineville is 495cfs. This should go up even more by tomorrow as there is steady rain in the forecast for tonight and tomorrow. Been floating a few time with the 285cfs and rain run-off, but a little rough. Now it's going to seem like a float on the Snake River with all this water.
As for fishing. There are still some salmon in the river. The spawning activity and numbers of fish are starting to drop off noticably. On the other hand the numbers of steelhead are increasing noticably. That's what we like. For steelhead I'd suggest egg patterns, egg patterns, egg patterns... oh yes, and egg patterns.
Will post more during the weekend.
Tight lines.
