Angling success throughout the DSR was described as good to very good.  Fish species reported were exclusively steelhead with a handful of browns also in the mix. Fishing techniques were primarily centerpin with floats, although we did have one guest who was swinging flies.  The majority of our guests hooked fish and or landed fish with one angler reporting his second best day ever tangling with almost twenty!  The middle to lower portions of the river was where the majority of fishing took place with one guest fishing the upper stretches.
