With our River Patrol members now patrolling the entire DSR portion of the river, we will be receiving daily fishing reports (usually mid-morning and early evening) from the River Patrol, in a standardized format. Here is a breakdown of terms we will be using, to allow you to interpret the fishing reports for your own use: Estuary section: lowest part of the DSR property, essentially from the lower property line upriver to # 28 (Bobber Hole) on the DSR river map Lower Section: the area of the river from # 28 (Bobber Hole) upriver to #20 (Spring Hole) Middle Section: the area of the river from #20 (Spring Hole) upriver to # 9 (Glide) Upper Section: the area of the river from # 9 (Glide) to # 3 (Black Hole) Top Section: the area of the river from # 3 (Black Hole) to # 1 (Employee Hole) and the upper property line Volume of Anglers High - Moderate - Low - None - Angling Success (this is a subjective averaging, of the overall angler success within large subsections of the river, a "snapshot", and may differ from your own subjective experience within another, more specific, section of the river, perhaps at other timeframes) Quiet - Slow - Moderate - Good - Excellent -

This is the first salmon brought to hand this year at DSR, a real beauty; honors go to Marty, one of our season passholders, who has been here at opening time the past several days. Marty also sighted two other salmon in the area he was fishing. Another season pass holder separately reported three salmon holding in pools within the middle of the run this morning.
