9 AM and 4 PM consolidated River Patrol fishing report: CFS 335 at the dam, CFS 430 at the Pineville gauge - water temperature a cool 48 degrees this morning - air temperature started out at 49 degrees early this morning and gradually rose to its current 61 degrees - a mostly overcast day, with light winds - this morning the lower section continued with a weeklong trend of being very slow (only one King was brought to hand there) - however, again, the further upriver you traveled, the better the action became - the upper section experienced an intense initial flurry of action at first light, which slowly subsided to a "slow pick" - guests trekking through the Welcome Center throughout the day provided individual reports, which were fairly positive, ranging from singles on Steelhead, through "five", to one lucky guided angler with double-digit hookups on Steelhead - covering water, technique, served them well - the late afternoon report was that action had generally died down throughout the run - however, these past few days, at the lower end, the few hours before dusk have witnessed a brief but very intense period of fish activity - the overnight low will be 53 degrees, with a 30% chance of showers late at night (good news!) - the forecast for tomorrow is: 60% chance of rain showers (better news!) early with overcast skies later in the day. High near 60F. Winds SW at 5 to 10 mph.

If you happened to be in the right spot at the right time, you did well. If not? Not so good and the latter was the more common report from our anglers today. A mid-afternoon flurry up high and then little action. Afternoon reports from the lower end were not encouraging. It seems like we have a very good day and then that is followed by a challenging day. If that is the case, tomorrow ought to be a very good day. Not a fishing report but we would like to inform our anglers that one of our guests took an unfortunate fall in the river at which time he lost his wedding ring. A ring that was once his father nd which had been passed from father to son. It's engraved with RS and JS to JR. Needless to say, the family would be most appreciative should anyone be able to recover the ring. At the time the angler was between the Wall Hole and The Flats.

Another spectacular weather-day on the Douglaston Salmon Run. The fish that entered the run yesterday evening/night made their way to the mid and upper sections this morning and provided good action for our anglers. The lower section was good at first light but things slowed when the sun hit the water. Afternoon reports from the mid to upper sections was that there "was constant action" with anglers getting into multiple fish. Primarily Steelhead but with some fresh salmon in the mix Afternoon reports from the lower section of the river were similar to that of the upper section report with excellent fishing being reported.

Much better action on the run today. Still some fresh Kings being taken and the Steelhead bite improved in a major wy today. The fish that were sighted at the lower end yesterday evening made their way to the mid and upper section this morning providing our anglers with steady action that continued throughout the day. This afternoons report indicated that fishing was very good from the top end all the way down to the mid-section with most anglers getting into multiple Steelhead. The afternoon report from the lower section was also positive with "a steady pick throughout the afternoon. Messages of "doom and gloom" and "the sky is falling" are beginning to look misguided.
