Fishing Report

Pineview is now officially below its old record low from 1992. It's sitting around 4,831 feet, about 69 feet below full. It did come up almost a foot in the last week, but there's still not much water and the access is rough.

Fish are packed into what's left of the channel. Emergency limits are still on through December 31, 12 bass, one tiger muskie over 40 inches, and no limit on everything else. Refill isn't expected to really start until after the first of the year.
