Not a great day. Not a bad day, but all-in-all a good day to be fishing the DSR. Just about everyone that I spoke with were able to get into multiple Kings nd a good many were brought to hand. Warmer weather (after a chilly start) and plenty of sunshine contributed to the enjoyment of the day. A few more Steelhead are starting to show up as are a few more brown trout. It would be nice to get another push of some salmon in from the lower end and we'll wait and see. Water level is going down tonight and that will make things a bit more manageable.
 
Current flow from the dam will be 750 cfs untio 9:00 this evening when it will go to 500 cfs and the current flow at Pineville is 1010 cfs

9 AM River Patrol fishing report: CFS at the dam 750, CFS 1030 at the Pineville gauge (dropping slowly) - water temperature 54 degrees, air temperature 52 degrees, cloudless skies with brilliant sunshine, light winds - estuary section reported no fish activity . . . some anglers simply paddling around looking for fish . . . the lower section has very few anglers present, with little observable fish movement, therefore it is difficult to judge that section . . . middle section reported "relatively slow" fish movement and angler success, hookups are occurring however it remains very difficult to bring the large Kings to hand due to the current - the fish in this section are a mix of Kings and Cohos - as we travel upriver, the fish activity and angler success picks up incrementally to "steady movement, hot and heavy angler activity" - again, a mix of Kings and Cohos, with one Brown Trout hooked but not landed - typically, most of the action was at first light, with a slow down after the sun came up over the treeline - we currently have full day fishing passes for sale

Fishing, overall, was slower than yesterday, but after the numbers we witnessed yesterday that's not saying much. Today may have required greater fishing effort but from the anglers that I spoke with and what I have seen, fishing was very good today. Mostly Kings today with fewer Coho, but that's not surprising given the rate fish were moving through the run yesterday.
 
Water continues to drop, which is good, and the level looks like it will remain at 750 cfs (at least until 8:00PM tomorrow night when it'll go down to 130 cfs for three hours (probably doing some work at the power house)
 
Current flow from the dam is 750 cfs and the flow at Pineville is 1100 cfs

Well today was the day. Or at least one of those days, of which we hope there are more to come. The high water brought in the fish today and for the first time this season I feel it safe to say we had "a run." Fish poured into the run in jaw-dropping numbers throughout the day and have continued into this evening.
 
All are concerned as to what happens next with regard to the water level. Will it go down? How fast? Will it go up? How high? All questions whose answers we will wait for. The good news is that the rain has diminished and as has the water flowing into the reservoir and the flow at Pineville. Let's all keep our fingers crossed.
 
Current flow from the dam remains at 750 cfs and the flow at Pineville is 1420 cfs (and dropping).

9 AM River Patrol fishing report: CFS at the dam 750, CFS at the Pineville gauge rose a bit through the early morning, currently stabilized at 1580 - water temperature is 58 degrees, air temperature currently 56 degrees - overcast, light wind, periodic heavy mist / light drizzle - estuary section reports large numbers of a mix of Kings and Cohos moving through and up into the river system - this translated into a lot of fish movement throughout the run, with consistent hookups, although bringing fish to hand in this flow has been challenging - we have full day passes for sale at this time, and afternoon-only passes will be posted for sale online at 10 AM daily

Good movement early this morning, as has been the case of late. Slower movement and more difficult fishing after the initial flurry. And while in past days things might have remined slow until late afternoon/evening, things started cranking around 2:00 this afternoon. Heavy rain during the day triggered good fish movement .Reports of good numbers of Kings and Coho's entered the run and provided "off the hook" fishing for all anglers all afternoon and into the evening. I'm guessing anglers are going to be hesitant to leave the run today.
 
Water flow remains at 335 cfs but will be going up to 750 cfs at 8:00PM this evening. Currently flow at Pineville is 474 cfs and climbing

Today saw a "slight" uptick in movement on the run compared to the last few days. Depending on where you were and how much time you were willing to put in, you could be rewarded. Overall reports from today indicated the middle-upper section saw "slow" movement but a few fish were still brought to hand. The lower end actually had a "moderate but steady" flow of fish with a mixed bag of species such as Kings, Cohos, Browns and even a few more Atlantics made an appearance. Still getting word of good numbers of fish in the estuary milling around just waiting to run when they are ready. Rain is on the forecast tonight so things could get interesting over the next few days.
