Report: Fished DSR morning 9/24, small pods of kings and cohos came in slowly all day. We fished first pool at dsr a little before lower clay w/ guide. We were at our spot at 5:05-used a boat. All guides took choice spots. Caught a ton of hos and some nice steelhead, and some kings. Fished 8lb leaders w/ red estaz, purp, etc size 8-16 hooks. There were not alot of fish in estuary, and mostly kings, alot of hos are gone now. It looks like things are going to get worse, not better. Would not fish any higher than staircase. Fished ballfield on 9/25 and only 50 ho's ran through in the morning, steelehad would not hit anything. Fish are holding in big holes and not moving.
One of my recommendations would be to fish black hole, but go to beginning of pool, have to fight along edge of cliff, or come down from staircase with dsr pass, as no one on south side of the hole. Fish have been staging at black hole, then making runs up river at funny times like 11 am on 9/24. People at start of the pool had alot of fun for some time. Also, its important right now to be at your spot at 6 am or before, start fishing 30 min before sun comes up. After sun is up, fish shade lines.
Generally though, things are terribly slow, and based on the low #'s in est., it may take awhile. DSR may not be worth it for those without a guide, but if you have the cash. go to the bigger holes down river and try to get in where you can, maybe stand around and work in. Most guides done by 1 pm
