Fishing Report for 06 September 2026:

REPORT:

From the afternoon fishing reports given to me by our River Patrol the consensus seems to be that the first two hours of daylight were the best, with fishing described as slow to moderate with primarily Kings. From mid-morning onward, at least up until the time of this report, fishing was listed as quiet to slow. There were a few brown trout reported in the middle section, but the remainder brought to hand were all Kings. Our angler volume on the run today was moderate.

The flow from the dam is currently showing 185 CFS and is scheduled to remain at that level until 11:59 PM on Tuesday, September 8th. The Pineville Gauge is currently at 228 CFS.

DSR Fishing Report for 04 September 2026:

REPORT:

Another day very similar to yesterday with good numbers of Salmon, (Kings) brought to hand and seen moving up the river from dawn until roughly 9:00am and then things slowed considerably, (at least up until the time of this report.) Our angler volume throughout the day was moderate, tapering to low for the afternoon hours, and angling success would best be described as good this morning and slow this afternoon. King Salmon with a few Browns were the only species reported so far today.

Pictured below left is Clay and bottom right Bryan with a nice pair of Kings brought to hand in the middle section of the run.

Just added a photo of what we think is the first Coho of the season caught on the run by Josh! (Bottom Right)
