23 Sep '25: the two Manor House guests' reserved areas (the South channel right below the Glide, and a portion of the Upper Clay) are open to DSR guests tomorrow; 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 09/24/2025 11:59 PM. The CFS at the Pineville gauge is currently 205.   Tomorrow’s conditions: Cloudy skies during the morning hours followed by scattered showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon. High 74F. Winds light and variable. Chance of rain 40%.   River Patrol 4:45 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 amount of angling pressure met with slow success. Pods of King salmon were seen holding in pools. The lower section reported low angling pressure too low, along with low angler success and a mixed bag of King and Coho salmon. Fish were reported holding in pools.   The middle section reported Moderate volume of anglers with mixed success of moderate to slow depending on where you were located. King and Coho salmon were landed as well seen moving upriver and holding in pools.   The upper section reported low angling pressure facing slow success. King and Coho salmon were reported moving upriver.   The top section reported light guest present with King salmon holding in pools.
