WALK-UP PASS PROCEDURES: due to our current online "sold-out" status, for at least the next several weeks, we implemented our walk-up daily access fishing pass procedures this morning, for both full-day and afternoon-only passes; here is the link to our walk-up pass procedures: https://douglastonsalmonrun.com/walkup/ The flow from the dam is scheduled to remain at 200 CFS until 09/20/2025 11:59 PM. The CFS at the Pineville gauge is currently 195. Current conditions are blue skies, bright sunshine, 68 degrees moderate breezes, no precipitation. Water temperature is 68 degrees.   River Patrol 4:30pm fishing report (this report is a subjective, generalized, evaluation of fishing conditions within large, yet specific, areas of the run, compiled through personal observations of the River Patrol assigned to these areas, as well as those of our surveyed guests angling within these areas, over a span of several hours, and may differ from your personal observations): NOTE: we train our River Patrol to report uniformly, to the following criteria regarding guest density within the particular section of the river run which they patrol: "Low" = few anglers - plenty of space"; "Moderate" = some anglers - some space left"; "High" = crowded - at capacity (with a) rod length in-between (one rod length minimum distance between anglers is defined as with the rod butt on the hip, extended to the side)".   Even these descriptions are relative, as at our capacity of 250 guests, we still have 2.5 miles of river, both sides of the river generally accessible, wherein our guests may fish. These same descriptions may not apply to other areas of the river outside of the DSR, where elbow to elbow is sometimes the norm.   The estuary section reported low guest density, slow fishing activity, with a mix of Chinook (King) and Coho salmon moving upriver.   The lower section reported low guest density and slow angling success for Kings, Cohos and browns.  Fish were holding in pools   The middle section reported low guest density and moderate hook-ups with Kings and Coho seen holding in pools as well as moving up river.   The upper section again reported low guest density and a low number of hook-ups with primarily Kings seen holding in pools.   The top section reported low guest density, slow fishing activity, with Kings seen moving upriver.   Tomorrow’s forecast:  Mostly Sunny, high around 67 degrees with light winds from the N / NW.
