Pleasant Valley Reservoir Fishing Report

The level is very low on average this winter as work is being done on the hydroelectric facility. Fishing has been good around the inlet/river section using dry-dropper bead head rigs, or para midges & #18 BWO adults at noon. The fishes are very active on the warmer days and you will see "pods" sipping midges in the film in the slower water sections. The issue currently is the mud that can be frozen in the morning and in the shadows. After thawing it is really treacherous and hard to walk or stand on in many locations along around the inlet section. I have witnessed wading boots get lost in the muck as the suction pulls them off when you try to get out. The "freeze tubing" has improved but you need to fish at the dam, or around the launch ramp on the far side. Until power generation begins the fish will spread out in the deeper water this time of year. Full sinks and streamers fished 10 or more feet work best.
