DSR Fishing Report for 05 May 2026:

REPORT:

Our angler density was low today and angling success was also slow.  There were a handful of steelhead caught by our guests, along with a few smallmouth, but overall numbers were down on both species over the past few days.

WEATHER / CFS:

The current dam release is 750 cfs, however there is a technical problem with the safewaters.com website.  The last reliable report was from yesterday stating 750 cfs would remain through 11:59 this evening.  Please check to see if there are any updates prior to traveling a long distance if you plan to join us on the run tomorrow.  The gauge at Pineville is currently at 868 cfs.

Tonight: Rain likely. Low 44F. Winds N at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 100%. Rainfall may reach one inch.

Tomorrow: Cloudy with rain ending in the afternoon. Cooler. High 48F. Winds N at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 100%. Rainfall near a quarter of an inch.

Tomorrow Sunrise: 5:51 AM               Tomorrow Sunset: 8:12 PM

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Season Pass Invitations were sent out 1 April 2026. Balance payments for all categories of seasons passes will be due by June 26, 2026.

As part of an “After-Action-Review” of last season, and identifying “best-practices” moving forward, effective this year, our guests are required to check-in and are strongly requested to check-out as well. This will enhance our efforts to achieve accurate snapshots of our guest population on the run in order to more accurately manage angler density so as to not exceed angler limits. Check-out may be as simple as stating “Season Pass Holder (last name) leaving for the day!” or “Party of four under (last name) leaving for the day!”.
