Things got cold, real fast!  Minimal winds, and no rain, but we did see our first snow flakes briefly this afternoon.  A few dozen anglers joined us over the course of the day, fighting the cold and covering a considerable amount of water from the sounds of it.  A majority of these anglers indicated having landed a few fish each, but they didn't come easy. Upper sections reported the lightest angling pressure today, with the the middle in lower sections the most heavily fished.  Overall, anglers saw the most success in the middle sections of the run, with a couple of brown trout reported in the mix along with the steelhead caught today.

Things cooled down quite quickly, with temperatures dropping into the 40's last night and only reaching a high around 45 F today.  Paired with steady rain, it made for quite a bitter day.  Given the conditions, today was the lightest crowd we've seen in some time.  Those that joined us indicated a fairly a tough pick, most covering significant ground and reporting several steelhead landed, but you really had to grin and bear it.  I think it's safe to say, it's officially steelhead season. The current dam release is scheduled to remain at 335 CFS until midnight tomorrow (10/31).  Temperatures are forecasted to continue to drop, with a low of 34 F at the time of sunrise tomorrow.

29 Oct '23 AM fishing report: certainly a damp chill in the air this morning as a light drizzle began to fall at daybreak. River patrol reports that fishing is slow overall from top to bottom of the run. Most of the fish that have been reported hooked or caught have been steelhead but a few fresh kings were also caught in the upper end of the run. The forecast calls for the steady light rain to end near 11AM with potential for showers remaining throughout the rest of the day. Beginning tomorrow (10/30/23), we will move back to posting one evening fishing report per day. 29 Oct '23 PM fishing report: CFS at the dam 335, CFS at the Pineville gauge 512, air temperatures were in the mid 40s, overcast, drizzly throughout the day, light winds to dead calm - the guest presence dwindled throughout the day as guests came off the run, however there were still reports of both Steelhead and fresh Chinook ("King") salmon being brought to hand in limited numbers ("slow" action overall), with very specific and limited areas producing fairly decent action, primarily with Steelhead. Today was the last day of Premium and tiered early access - effective tomorrow, 30 Oct '23, the procedure will be as follows: all categories of guests will line up on the East side of the ticket booth (near the restrooms), in the order in which they arrived at the line; beginning at 15 minutes before the posted opening time (6:30 AM through 4 Nov), we will begin processing all categories of guests; all processed guests will then stage in the breezeway pending their release; all categories of guests are released to the river at the posted opening time (6:45 AM 30 Oct - 4 Nov).

The morning broke with a heavy overcast and a small front having just pushed through. The rest of the day has a small chance of precipitation but nothing that should trouble anglers too badly. Unfortunately, leaves are plaguing anglers this morning and likely affecting the bite too. The upper and middle sections of the run both reported light angling pressure with only a few sparse hookups on steelhead. The lower end of the run has more angling pressure but a few more steelhead being caught there as well. Overall though, all anglers are working for their bites. PM fishing report: for most of the afternoon, there were blue skies and brilliant sunshine, however the wind picked up, occasionally gusting fairly hard - windblown leaves saturating the river system continued to be an obstacle for our guests, with only a few of these reporting any action on the run - "slow" would be the overall description of this afternoon We do have some upcoming lodge availability for early November, visit https://douglastonsalmonrun.com/lodging/  or call us at 315-298-6672 ext. 0 to reserve.

Winds were minimal, but the leaves were reported to be problematic by a number of anglers. Reports from our River Patrol indicated extremely light angling pressure throughout the entire run, with a few steelhead being caught, but few and far between this afternoon. As we continue into the weekend, temperatures are forecasted to drop with a bit of rain anticipated as well.

The good news is that it's forecast to be a brief period of rain and sunshine and warmer temperatures should be arriving later this morning. Early reports from the run are very similar to what we have experienced the past several days. Light to moderate angler pressure, light fishing success with the primary species being Steelhead (but with a few "fresher" salmon still around).

AM Fishing Report: A great day to be out fishing. Overcast skies that will give way to sunshine and highs in the upper 60's. All we would need to make things perfect were better numbers of fish being brought to hand. Early reports from throughout the run, regardless of which section, was that angling pressure was light, relatively few fish were being hooked/brought to hand, and the primary species in the run is Steelhead (with a few fresher Kings in the mix). The day is still young so we will just have to wait to see how things develop. Water from the dam remains at 350 cfs and the flow at Pineville is 470 cfs (and dropping steadily.)

What a difference a day can make with weather. Yesterday's rain moved through and gave way to a beautiful crisp fall day here in Pulaski. So far this morning the fishing remains similar to yesterday. Most areas of the run have reported slower action. However, in the middle section, River Patrol reported moderate action for the anglers there. A few kings are still in the mix in the lower end of the run with the rest of the reports all being steelhead only. Please use caution when wading as the river is puffed up quite a bit with runoff from this weekend's rain. We expect that the water levels will continue to recede throughout the day as we dry out. Note the increase in flow is only from runoff, the dam release has not changed from 335cfs.

Water temperature this morning was 51 degree also contributes to the notion of perfect Steelhead weather. Reports from the river suggest that throughout the run the anglers pressure is light, a mix of Steelhead and "fresher" Kings (with Steelhead being the more prominent species), and while not strong numbers of fish being brought to hand, our anglers are bringing some to hand. The day is young and with these light showers, we are hoping that the action will pick up before days end.

The rain overnight did puff the river up slightly, +60cfs reported at the Pineville gauge. The river is still wadable but do use caution. So far, the forecast is better than expected for the day. We experienced a light drizzle for about 30 minutes earlier this morning but other than that it has been dry. More light rain is forecasted for this afternoon. This morning's fishing report from River Patrol was consistently reported as good from one end of the run to the other. The upper portion of the run is nearly all steelhead while the bottom of the run is more of a mix with several kings, an Atlantic salmon, and a brown trout also being reported. With the leaves changing it is making for a very scenic backdrop and all in all seems like a great day to be out fishing. This morning's water temperature was reported at 54 degrees.

Sunshine for the morning and cloud cover in the afternoon (but no rain) were the conditions our anglers experienced this afternoon and early evening. Most anglers that I spoke with had a good day down on the run with a mix that consisted predominately of Steelhead and King salmon. The Kings that were brought to hand were described as fresh from the lake and less colored up than they have been of late; the Steelhead as chrome and difficult to land. Water temperatures in the high 40's and lower 50's are pretty ideal for these fish. A number of Atlantic Salmon were also brought to hand. Not sure of the exact number (probable a half dozen or so) but clearly more than the one or two of days past. Additionally, bright, larger females are becoming part of the mix.

Overall, it seemed the morning today fish a bit better than this afternoon.  Upper and lower most sections of the property reported the least angling pressure this afternoon, with the middle section reporting the greatest angling pressure.  Only a few anglers reported salmon today, with a majority of anglers bringing steelhead to hand, with the occasional brown trout.

A gloomy day with chilling temperatures, periods of rain, and cloudy skies gave way to an afternoon of ample sunshine and warmer temperatures. Today was what I would call a "transition day."  While the reports indicate that while there are still plenty of salmon still in the river, the  primary species, by far, that was brought to hand were Steelhead.  While things can change again, it does seem that we are transitioning from a fishery where salmon are the dominant species to one in which the Steelhead is dominant.  Not a bad thing. The scheduled flow from the dam dropped to 500 cfs at noon today, through midnight tomorrow and the current flow at Pineville is  666 cfs and dropping. Pictured below is a happy angler that landed some nice Steelhead in the morning and this beautiful brown trout in the afternoon.  What a fishery!!

PM Report:  Todays weather seemed more like Steelhead season than Salmon Season.   High temperature barely made it above 50 and overnight lows in the 40's.  Add to that overcast, grey skies and you had Steelhead weather.  It must be that the fish were taking note as the number of Steelhead brought to hand today increased somewhat.  Everyday, there seems to be an increase in the number of chrome Steelhead. Not great numbers, but good numbers of salmon continue to be brought to hand despite the somewhat higher water level.  An occasional brown trout and even a less frequent Atlantic showed up today as well (Including the nice male pictured below). The lack of rain today is positive news as it suggests that the flow from the dam may not increase and, (keeping or fingers crossed), might drop.  At this point the scheduled flow has not been updated and continues to call for 750cfs through midnight tonight,  Water flow at Pineville is currently 1040 cfs and is dropping.

Evening Report:  Another excellent day on the run.  Actually, it's a challenge to find the most descriptive term.  Depending on the individual it could be considered excellent, great, outstanding, or even, for some, "epic".  Whatever word you chose, we can say that the fishing was as good as it needs to be.  This afternoon we witnessed  moderate angler pressure throughout the run,   good fish movement, and  steady hookups throughout the run.  To quote one of our River Patrol from this afternoon "The best day of fishing that I've seen so far this year. Please note that tomorrow we change the release time.  Please check the Angler Release Schedule - https://douglastonsalmonrun.com/release-schedule/

It's certainly hard to believe it's already October.  Before we know it, we'll be seeing our first solid  'leaf hatches' of the season!  Overall today, it seems that the fish remain plentiful, with most anglers indicating countless fish caught.  One angler described it as an 'epic day'. You know it's a good day on the river, when you run of tackle. Reports from the upper sections of the property indicated the lightest angling pressure, with a good number of fish moving through (predominantly kings).  Middle sections of the run, echoed the reports from the upper sections, with light angling pressure steady movement, and a few steelhead in the mix.  Lower sections of the property indicated the highest volume of anglers, and moderate fish activity, with a quick flurry of Coho flying through early this afternoon.

PM Fishing Report:  Fishing action thru the afternoon hours was noted as moderate to excellent thru all stretches of the river with most anglers hooking up with multiple fish.  The early morning fog / haze cleared off around noon today with bright blue skies and light winds in abundance for the remainder of the day.  This report may seem repetitive in nature to PM reports over the last few days, however Kings and Cohos are spread evenly through the lower to the upper stretches of the river.  Along with those species, browns, steelhead and more atlantics were also reported. Flow continues at 350 cfs from the damn, while Pineville registers 442 cfs thru midnight 10/2/2023.
