Fishing Report for July 7^th – July 11^th, 2025  - We are truly into the heart of the summer months here on at the DSR.  Water temperatures have been between 70 – 75 F each day; water flows from 285 cfs to 185 cfs have been the rule of the week. Our fishing has remained consistent with our guests primarily targeting either smallmouth  by swinging flies or using spin tackle with artificial lures.  Those seeking fall fish have used spin tackle with live bait.  The numbers of fish caught have generally been from 1-5 for Smallmouth and 5-10 for fall fish.
