Salmon River Update 24 September 2015
Fishing at Douglaston Salmon Run continues to be sporadic. Earlier in the week was the best with a moderate number of Kings with some Cohos mixed in. We did see several 10 pound plus dime-bright Steelhead landed and had great expectations for the rest of the week. This did not materialize and the run remains very sporadic. The Kings are averaging large and the Cohos are smaller than we normally see. The upriver report is a reflection of the modest runs on the lower river. It is so right time right place with some success in the Sportsman and School House Pools. The Upper Fly Zone has fish and there has not been a lot of fishermen as yet. Reports from Lake Captains continues to be positive with reports of large numbers of Kings continuing to stage, some as shallow as 15 feet.
