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 185 CFS until 09/20/2025 11:59 PM. The CFS at the Pineville gauge is currently 198.   Current conditions are mostly sunny. High 69F. Winds NNW at 5 to 10 mph. Water temperature is 58 degrees.   River Patrol 9:00am fishing report:   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 a high guest density with slow fishing activity. A with a mix of Chinook (King) and Coho salmon seeming to be holding in the estuary.   The lower section reported a moderate guest density and moderate angling success for Kings, Cohos and browns.  Fish were holding in pools and moving upriver.   The middle section reported a moderate guest density and moderate angling success with Kings and Coho salmon. Most of the salmon were seen holding in pools as well as moving upriver.   The upper section reported a moderate guest density and a moderate number of hook-ups with primarily King and Coho salmon seen holding in pools and moving upriver.   The top section reported low guest density, slow fishing activity, with Kings seen holding in pools.
