DSR Fishing Report for 17 May 2026:

REPORT:

One of the warmest days of this spring greeted the few guests we had on the run today.  Those that did fish the run caught a few steelhead in the middle and lower sections; the smallmouth were elusive with only a pair brought to hand.

WEATHER / CFS:

The current dam release is 350 CFS through 9:00pm this evening; at that time, it’s scheduled to increase to 750 CFS through 11:59 Monday night.  The flow from the Pineville gauge is at 525 CFS.

Tonight: Partly cloudy this evening, then becoming cloudy after midnight. Low 59F. Winds E at 5 to 10 mph.

Tomorrow: Sunshine and clouds mixed. High 87F. Winds SSW at 5 to 10 mph.

Tomorrow Sunrise: 5:37 AM                Tomorrow Sunset: 8:26 PM

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Balance payments for all categories of seasons passes will be due by June 26, 2026.

As part of an After-Action-Review of last season that identified best-practices moving forward, guests are strongly requested to check out when they leave the property. This will enhance angler safety and our efforts to more accurately manage angler density on the run so as to not exceed angler limits. Check-out may be as simple as stating “Season Pass Holder (last name) leaving for the day!” or calling the Welcome Center to share “Party of four under (last name) leaving for the day!”.

*** PRIME TIME lodging stay just opened up: October 5th 2026 – October 8th 2026 in our Douglaston Manor Lodge. This stay is now available to be booked on our website; book while you can because these dates will go fast!!!
