DSR Fishing Report for 26 April 2026:

REPORT:

We had a moderate to high number of guests join us on the run today.  Although steelhead, (drop backs as well as fresh), were caught today, the smallmouth bass really picked up in a big way.  Many guests reported double digits for smallmouth using crankbaits, worms, and streamers.  Beads and swung streamers were the primary methods used for Steelhead that were brought to hand today.

Pictured below is Austin with a very nice smallmouth that have started showing up on the run.
