22 Sep '25: the two Manor House guests' reserved areas (the South channel right below the Glide, and a portion of the Upper Clay) are in effect, for the full day, today, until further notice; any updates will be published immediately through here, our website fishing reports, through Guest Services at the Welcome Center, and through the River Patrol assigned to the two specific reserved areas. Appropriate signage has also been posted at the boundaries of these two areas, to indicate whether or not the areas are accessible. WALK-UP PASS PROCEDURES: due to our current online "sold-out" status, for at least the next several weeks, we have implemented our walk-up daily access fishing pass procedures, 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 09/22/2025 11:59 PM. The CFS at the Pineville gauge is currently 198. Current conditions are: mostly cloudy skies, diffused sunshine, 59 degrees (high of 74 degrees forecasted), moderate breezes, a brief sprinkle very early this morning. Water temperature is 62 degrees. River Patrol 9 AM 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, experiencing slow fishing activity, with both Chinook (King) and Coho salmon present, which are mostly holding in pools with some moving upriver (probably the Coho). The lower section reported moderate guest density, experiencing moderate fishing activity in the lower half, and slow fishing activity within the upper half; with predominately Kings in the lower half, and a mix of Kings and Cohos in the upper half; that were moving upriver ("a lot of fish are moving!"), with a percentage of the fish holding in pools. The middle section reported moderate guest density, with moderate fishing activity in the lower half and slow fishing activity in the upper half; a mix of Kings and Cohos; that are moving upriver, with a percentage holding in pools within the lower half of the section. The upper section reported moderate guest density, with slow fishing activity in the lower half and moderate fishing activity in the upper half; predominately Kings that are moving upriver, with a percentage holding in pools within the upper half. The top section reported no guests, with unidentified fish holding in pools. The forecast for tonight is: "Showers this evening, becoming a steady rain overnight. Low 61F. Winds light and variable. Chance of rain 80%. Rainfall near a half an inch". The forecast for tomorrow is: "Rain early...then remaining cloudy with showers in the afternoon. High 71F. Winds light and variable. Chance of rain 80%. Rainfall around a quarter of an inch". Featured is Doug with a nice Brown Trout
