Water flow from the dam was raised to 2200 cfs last night (Friday). The DSR, therefore, will be closed to fishing today!!

A raw day on the run today.  Temperatures in the low-40’s and a brutal wind made things challenging for our anglers today. At the end of the day it looks like there may be clearing skies and we can only hope that the winds subside overnight. The lower section seemed to fish better than the mid and upper sections in spiteof the strong winds in that section).  The reports from our anglers were mixed.  Many that I spoke with had a “very good day” with decent numbers of chrome Steelhead and a few browns in the mix as well. Others that I spoke with came up empty which may have been a function of wind,  one’s ability to deal with it, and angling technique.  All agreed, however, that the fish are there in good numbers which is all we can ask for.   Water from the dam remains at 500 cfs and the current flow at Pineville is 660 cfs

What more could we be thankful for!? A beautiful morning with sunny skies, modest temperatures, no wind, a good fishable flow in the river, and of course happy biting steelhead! Just about everyone I've spoke to this morning has had success and all have enjoyed their time on the water before heading off to spend time with friends and family. The morning's catch was primarily freshly minted steelhead with a few brown trout in the mix. We continue to observe steelhead being caught in a variety of sizes indicating a good age structure and (hopefully) several more years of good fishing ahead of us. Several guests noted larger fish today in the 10lb+ size class. Happy Thanksgiving from all of us here at Douglaston Salmon Run!

Another mild day, plenty of overcast, and just a few brief showers.  Overall, based on angler reports, the fishing didn’t slow down today, rather, for some, just picking up where they left off yesterday.  With most of the action reported in the lower end yesterday, it was inevitable that we see some more action in the middle and upper sections of the property today.  Lower sections of the run reported greater action earlier in the day, but overall, consistent.  Middle sections of the run were reported to be consistent throughout the day.  A few browns reported, along with a rogue coho in the mix today.

Seems like today was one of those days you should have been here!  A bit of overcast, and warmer temperatures were definitely ideal ingredients for a good outing. Another couple dozen anglers (most returning from yesterday), seemed to have quite a field day down on the run.  Reports ranged from a couple fish, to one seasoned angler reaching double digit numbers indicating it was the best fishing he had experienced in quite some time. As usual, we just needed that day of acclimation, to see just how many fish that bump in flows brought in with it.  Overall, today, the lower end was the place to be today, with great reports from both float and fly fishing anglers.  After the apprehension and concern expressed earlier in this season, it's certainly reassuring to hear such positive reports as we progress through the season.

And, we're back in action!  The snow didn't seem to amount to the few feet we were expecting in Pulaski.  However, some surrounding areas were a completely different story.  Although not having seen the water quality yesterday, it's probably safe to assume, given the conditions, it was extremely slushy.  With the weather subsiding today, a couple dozen anglers eagerly set out this morning, hoping to take advantage of the lack of pressure on the run yesterday, AND a drop in the dam release (back down to 500 CFS).   Reports from the anglers we were able to catch up with today seemed to be fairly consistent - several indicating a few fish each (1's & 2's), others reporting a quiet day on the water with no luck.
