DSR Fishing Report for 16 May 2026:

REPORT:

We had a moderate number of guests join us on the run today, with the majority fishing during the morning hours.  A pair of our guests fishing with a DSR guide brought (4) steelhead to hand in the upper section; the remainder of guests were primarily focused on smallmouth, with only a few being hooked and / or landed.  Overall, between both Steelhead and Smallmouth the angling success would best be summed up as slow.

WEATHER / CFS:

The current dam release is 350 CFS through 9:00pm tomorrow evening; at that time, it’s scheduled to bump up to 750 CFS through 11:59pm Sunday evening. The Pineville Gauge is at 519 CFS.

Tonight: Showers early, then cloudy overnight. Low around 55F. Winds WSW at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 70%.

Tomorrow: Areas of patchy fog early. Cloudy skies early, followed by partial clearing. High near 70F. Winds W at 5 to 10 mph.

Tomorrow Sunrise: 5:38 AM                Tomorrow Sunset: 8:25 PM

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

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 that identified best-practices moving forward, guests are strongly requested to check out when they leave the property. This will enhance angler safety and our efforts to more accurately manage angler density on the run 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 calling the Welcome Center to share “Party of four under (last name) leaving for the day!”.
