DSR Fishing Report for 08 September 2026:

NOTICES:

***On Friday, September 4^th in the late afternoon or early evening one of our guests lost something of high value here at the DSR.  If this applies to you, please call us at your earliest convenience.*** A wallet belonging to Derek Hedmeck was turned in today, by another guest; it may be recovered at the ticket booth lost and found for a period of 30 days maximum.

REPORT:

The consensus for this evening’s report falls similarly to the previous couple of days. With a low to moderate number of guests on the run, fishing success again seemed at its best early in the morning before tapering off around 9am or so. From the folks I’ve spoken with, King Salmon have been the primary species holding in pools along with a couple of Brown Trout mixed in on the lower section of the run.   Pictured below is Jeffrey with a nice King Salmon from this morning.  

 CFS / WEATHER:

The flow from the dam is currently showing 250 CFS and is scheduled to remain at that level until 11:59 PM on Tuesday, September 9^th. The Pineville Gauge is currently at 228 CFS. Tonight: Cloudy. Low 61F. Winds ESE at 5 to 10 mph. Tomorrow: Rain likely. High 73F. Winds SSE at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 90%. Rainfall near a quarter of an inch.

***Announcements: 

9- and 12-month Season Passes are available for pick-up.  Please have your valid NY state fishing license with you.*** A reminder that, effective this season, we are asking that all categories of guests check-out with us, either in-person at the Welcome Center, telephonically, or with River Patrol at other access points (e.g., Black Hole, estuary, lodge guest parking) when they leave the run for the day; this will enable us to more effectively monitor and control the number of anglers on the run, in order to meet both the spirit and intent of our daily angler limit.
