September 27, 2025

27 Sep '25: the two Manor House guests' reserved areas (the South channel below the Glide, and a portion of the Upper Clay) are available for DSR Guests the full day, tomorrow, Sunday, September 28^th, 2025, and the signage will indicate that.   There are three lodges available on the 16th of October: Mud Creek, Salmon Run Lodge and Deer Run. The lodges are for one night only and have a minimum occupancy rate of 3 guests for Mud Creek and Deer Run and for Salmon Run 5 guests. The lodges can be booked online. 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 09/28/2025 11:59 PM. The CFS at the Pineville gauge is currently 203. Water temperature this morning was 67F.   River Patrol 4:45pm, 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 density of anglers with slow angling success, Kings and Cohos are going upriver and holding in pools   The lower section reported moderate angler density with slow to moderate angler success, with mostly Kings and Cohos moving upriver and holding in pools as well as moving up-river.   The middle section reported moderate angler density with moderate angler success, Kings and Cohos primarily holding in pools.   The upper section had moderate angler density with moderate angler success, Kings and Coho moving upriver.   The top section had low angler density and quiet fishing success.  Kings were seen holding in pools.   The weather forecast for tomorrow: “A few passing clouds, otherwise generally sunny with highs in the low 70s, along with light and variable winds.”   Pictured below is RJ with a nice Atlantic.  RJ was fishing with Brian Ferman of  ‘High Hook Guide Service.’
