DSR Fishing Report for 31 August 2026:

 REPORT:

There were anglers fishing pretty much the entire length of the run. Angler density was low to moderate with angler success slow to moderate. Most anglers reported hooking into several fish and landing a few over the course of the day. Fish started moving upriver this evening as reported by a couple of anglers.

 CFS / WEATHER:

The flow from the dam is currently showing 250 CFS and is scheduled to remain at that level until 11:59 PM on Tuesday Sept 1^st, but since the Pineville Gauge is currently at 236 CFS, the flow out of the dam is less than the posted 250CFS. Water temperature was 64F first thing this morning, and evening temperature was 70F. Tonight: Rain showers this evening with numerous thunderstorms developing overnight. Low 64F. Winds SE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 100%. Tomorrow: Rain showers early with overcast skies later in the day. High 77F. Winds SW at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 70%. Tomorrow Sunrise: 6:28 AM Tomorrow Sunset: 7:44 PM

REPORT:

We had a low to moderate number of anglers join us on the run again today.  Overall fishing did seem to taper off some from the previous (2) days, however.  Fishing success would best be described as quiet to slow throughout the run.  Primarily Kings with a handful of browns were brought to hand today.

DSR Fishing Report for 26 August 2026: REPORT: We had 36 guests join us on the run today. A majority of our guests trickled in over the morning hours, with the remainder of our guests joining us on the run beginning early afternoon. As our earlier guests left the run, there were reports of multiple sightings of salmon moving up-river. A fair percentage of our guests were able to at least hook up with a salmon, however those brought to hand were generally one’s and two’s. As we moved into late afternoon and early evening, those guests who came off the run reported greater degrees of success with both hooking up and bringing salmon to hand; fish became more active as daylight diminished.
