We had about a dozen anglers fish the run today. Some fished early, left and returned late. Others fished throughout the morning. Only a couple of fish were spotted today and that was early morning. The water level will be bumped up to 350 cfs from the dam beginning at 9:00 PM tonight on its way to 750 cfs over the weekend. That and cooler temperatures overnight and into tomorrow gives us reason to be optimistic.

We had two anglers fish the run today. One did not see salmon nor movement. The other was able to bring two salmon to hand. Right place. Right time. Very early seems to be "the right time." Rain came in this afternoon and we have had a good soaking for the past several hours which will help water levels and cool down the water temperatures as well.
 
Water from the dam remains at 185 cfs and the flow at Pineville is 277 cfs (ticking up due to the rain of this afternoon)

There were 13 anglers on the run today, all had a good time, the weather cooperated but the fish didn't. No one spotted a fish, but they all left happy. The run is beautiful this time of year.

Cool overnight temperatures helped bring the water temperature down a bit with early morning readings in the mid-60's climbing to around 68 by noon. Only a few anglers fished the run today with only one season pass holder spotting two fish (one of which he was able to bring to hand.) The fish looked a little brighter than the fish that was posted about a week ago, and that's an encouraging sign.

28 guests were on the run today - these guests trickled in starting at opening time, until the late afternoon, with a fair percentage leaving after fishing the morning, and coming back for the evening bite - attached are pictures of the foggy fields and blazing dawn that greeted our earlier guests - CFS at the dam 185, with the CFS at the Pineville gauge dropping from 299 to 286 over the day - water temperatures started at 69 degrees early this morning, and rose to 75 degrees later in the day - our day started out in the mid 60s, and only climbed to the mid 70s - we alternated with some cloud cover to brilliant blue skies, plenty of sunshine, and light breezes - Smallmouth Bass are still providing action, as incidental catches, as are some large Fallfish - although our guests fished from top to bottom of the run, there were only occasional sightings of moving salmon, and those were sporadic and not numerous - there were no hookups . . . we will have an overnight low of a chilly 58 degrees, with tomorrow's forecast as follows: Generally sunny.

We had about a dozen anglers fish the run over the course of the day. Most anglers reported that they did not see any salmon and a few others indicated that they saw a few. One angler this afternoon spotted one salmon and this morning a season pass holder reported seeing "maybe a half dozen." No reports of any fish brought to hand. We might get a little rain overnight and possibility of spotty showers tomorrow.

A note to our guests: we are receiving calls complaining that a guest cannot access their account to order passes or reserve lodges, etc. - if you had online DSR accounts prior to 31 December 2021, they did not carry over into our new system, which went into effect in January 2022 - so, in order to buy passes, reserve lodges, etc. you will need to create a new account in our new system 
 
we had eight guests on the run today - most of them sighted salmon, and one briefly hooked up with a salmon - so, they're here, just not in large numbers yet - CFS at the dam is 210, CFS at the Pineville gauge is 304 - our day started off in the high 60s, and ramped up to the high 70s - water temperatures ranged from 68 to 71 degrees - an overcast start to the day cleared up to blue skies and plenty of sunshine - breezes were light and did little to dispel the humidity - our overnight low will be 64 degrees, with the forecast for tomorrow as: Scattered showers and thunderstorms.

There were five anglers enjoying a mild summer day, one angler spotted a couple of salmon at the lower end of the run. And one angler landed a big King around sunset, hopefully they’ll send the picture, it was a nice fish.

Nine anglers braved the challenging conditions today, hopefully the rain that's been falling the past couple of days will get the fish moving. Just one salmon was sighted today. The water temp this afternoon was 72F.
