Our coolest overnight so far this season (48 F) seemed to bring a bit of life to the river today.  While conditions weren't exactly optimal in the early part of the morning, the fishing was good.  Rains dwindled, but the strong winds stuck around for the greater part of the day.  Based on reports from our River Patrol and the anglers we spoke with this afternoon the middle and upper sections of the property had the most success as well as the most angling pressure reporting mostly kings with a few Coho in the mix, while the lower sections indicated lesser success but also much less angling pressure.  At this time the dam release is currently scheduled to remain at 350 CFS until 11:59PM tomorrow (9/8). Please monitor safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for updated dam release scheduled.

Probably one of the coolest days we've seen thus far remaining in the mid 60's, with a good amount of rainfall throughout the morning.  Based on reports from our River Patrol and the anglers we spoke with today, activity seemed a bit lighter overall today.  Reports this afternoon were similar throughout the run, with light angling pressure and low to moderate fish activity.  Today anglers again reported predominantly King salmon with some Coho in the mix.  Despite this morning's rainfall the dam release is currently scheduled to remain at 350 CFS until 11:59PM tomorrow (9/8).

The rain this morning hasn't slowed the number of anglers on the run. Looks like the rain will end this afternoon with cloudy skies for the rest of the day. High temp should reach 62F and the low will be 50F. The upper end of the run has seen quite a few anglers with some success, all Kings and the fish are moving up river. The middle of the run, some action, also Kings and moving up. The lower end of the run, not so many anglers, some action and Kings the fish of the morning. The Kings are a bright color. The flow out of the dam thru midnight tonight is 350CFS and out of Pineville 408CFS.

As to be expected the active fish movement throughout the run that we witnessed this morning slowed during the mid-day and the hours of overhead sun. Still good numbers of fish were sighted and brought to hand (particularly in the deeper pools of the mid-section). Slower fish presence experienced in the upper and lower sections with light angling pressure with fish moving downstream in the lower parts of our run. Coho's were sighted (briefly) as they shot through pretty fact as is their habit. Still and all, another good day to be on run. Tomorrow's forecast calls for plenty of sunshine with temperatures nearing 80 degrees with some rain forecast for this weekend. Water from the dam remains at 350cfs through midnight tomorrow and the flow at Pineville is 382cfs (down slightly from yesterdays reading at this time of 387cfs.

9:30 AM River Patrol fishing report: CFS at the dam 350, CFS at Pineville 382 - water temperature 63 F - Chinook ("King") salmon are present throughout the run, most of these fish actively moving upriver, in very small groups, with a few holding in pools at the lower end - we were also seeing Coho (typically) shooting through the upper section of the run this morning - guest presence is low in the lower section of the run, perhaps due to lesser degrees of success there, with guest density and success increasing as we move towards the upper sections - featured in the photograph is Gavin, who drove from MA early this morning, with a nice King - he was guided by DSR Guide Scott Mathna of Redlegg Outfitters

I realize it's getting repetitive, but today was another absolutely beautiful day on the run with clear blue skies, pleasant temperatures, and minimal wind. In addition, good fish movement is getting repetitive as well. Most of the movement was concentrated on the mid-section where there was the greatest density of anglers and action. Strangely, this afternoon the upper-section saw relatively light fish movement (perhaps due to the bright overhead sun) and light angler pressure. Fish were brought to hand but not nearly to the degree that was witnessed in the mid-section. Kings ruled the day with a smattering of Coho in the mix. Everyday the fish presence improves. Not by leaps and bounds, but incrementally moving to better and better numbers. Now we just need to keep our fingers crossed that we avoid that period where the fish seem to disappear for a time. We'll see what tomorrow brings. The forecast for tomorrow is for another sunny and slightly warmer day with temperatures approaching 80 degrees. The flow from the dam remains at 350cfs and the flow at Pineville is 387cfs.

Another beautiful day on the run. Sunny skies, light winds and warmer temperatures. Fishing was pretty darn good as well. Everyone with whom I spoke saw good fish movement throughout the day. Not crazy numbers but groups of two and three's on a regular basis. Sometimes more. I recall one angler who when asked "How was it today?" smirked, smiled and didn't answer until I repeated my question. At that point he smiled and said "I don't know how it was for anyone else but I had a very good day. Yeah. It was a really good day". Other anglers that I spoke with were clearly very happy with their day. Lots of hookups and good numbers of fish were brought to hand. Tomorrow is looking like it should be another excellent day to be on the run. Sunshine and temperatures into the seventies. We've received a number of reports from down stream that the estuary is getting loaded up with fish. Now we just need them to poke their nose up into the run in the morning. Water temperature went from 61 early up to 64 around noon. Flow from the dam remains at 350cfs and the Pineville gauge is reading 387cfs.

One couldn't ask for a much better day on the run. A mix of sun and clouds, cooler fall-like temperatures, and a steady movement of fish ( almost exclusively Kings) throughout the day. There were some slower periods, of course ,and the early morning hours, as to be expected, saw the most visible movement, but fish were on the moved through the afternoon and evening hours as well. As the sun got higher in the sky fish could be found in the faster water and in places that offered shade. After the early morning push of fish, the mid and upper sections seemed to have the heaviest action although anglers that fished from the mid section down found plenty of fish to keep themselves entertained. Tomorrow's forecast calls for a high of 70 with clear skies (after an overnight low near 50) and light winds. Tomorrow is shaping up to be another excellent day to be on the run. Flow from the dam remains at 350cfs and the flow at Pineville is 406cfs. Water temperature this afternoon was 66, but will definitely be cooling down through the nighttime hours.

Conditions on the run remained fair, with moderate overcast throughout the day and just a brief stint of heavy rain.  With another day of a 750 CFS release the anticipation continued for the increased flows to bring some more fish into the river.  Based on reports from our River Patrol and anglers we spoke with there was a slight increase in activity with a mix of Kings and Coho today.  Most success was indicated in the morning, with a bit of a mid day lull.  Anglers fishing the middle and upper sections seemed to report the most activity throughout the day.  The dam release is scheduled to be reduced from 750 CFS to 350 CFS tonight 9/1 at 6:00 PM, where it currently scheduled to remain until 11:59 PM tomorrow 9/2. Please monitor safewaters.com/facility/lighthouse-hill for updated dam release scheduling and information.
