This week's STREAM fishing report is from Ron Bierstine from Oak Orchard Tackle and Lodge, December 18, 2018.

Kind of a return to slightly colder temps for this mid week period but the forecast for the end of week is definitely warmer with a chance of precipitation Friday.  For now, flows in the Oak are low to moderate and mostly clear.  There are still occasional water level fluctuations thanks to hydro-power operations.  Unconfirmed, but the dropping flows and today's fluctuation to low flows could be the planned hydro work that was scuttled earlier this fall.  Look for the chance for low or lower or leakage flows in the turbine channel for a day or so.  Flows will still rebound through the overflow channel in the interim.  (Flows cannot be stopped as they will over-spill the overflow channel if the hydro plant is shutdown).
