The middle section reported moderate guest density, with moderate fishing activity, with a mix of Kings and Cohos in the lower part, and Kings within the upper part, that are moving upriver in the lower part, and were initially moving up the river in the upper part until first light, at which time a percentage began holding in pools there.
The upper section reported moderate guest density, with moderate fishing activity within the lower part and slow fishing activity within the upper part, predominately Kings throughout, with two Brown Trout from the lower part, that are all holding in pools at this time.

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 frequently the norm. Angling success or activity is reported to these standards: "Quiet" = no action, no fish being caught or seen; "Slow" = guests hooking fish, but few and far between; "Moderate" = guests are hooking fish, but could be better"; "Good" = guests are hooking fish steadily; "Excellent" = guests can't keep the fish off the line.
