Daily Report

September 20 2026

On Saturday we had fall like conditions with the early morning temperature in the 40's and reaching into the mid 60's in the afternoon. The number of anglers in town for the weekend increased which is normal for this time of year. The anglers we spoke with who fished the DSR reported having a slow day and said the best action for them was first thing in the morning.  Other areas in the lower end of the river where anglers had some success was RT2A, Papermill area, Ballpark, Town pool, Longbridge/Staircase 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.

Closed By Emergency Order: The Lower Fly Fishing Catch & Release Area. From September 15 through October 31, 2026.
