Daily Report

September 18 2026

Thursday was another warm and muggy day with the temperature reaching into the upper 70's.  Anglers we spoke with who fished the DSR reported getting into mostly kings along with a few brown trout being landed as well. The kings were both on the move and holding in the deeper holes. Anglers also reported getting into kings in the Ballpark, Town Pool, Staircase/longbridge and Black Hole. In the mid to upper to upper end of the river kings are holding in and around the deeper holes and larger runs.  As far as the lake fishing goes, on the days the boats can get out, the fishing has been very good. The open motel dates have been posted on the motel page of the website. If you don't see the dates your looking for, it's always best to call and check to see if something just recently became available.
