About
A Little Slice of Heaven
Fishing at the DSR offers an unforgettable, private water experience. Anglers will find a high quality, low pressure, and easily accessible fishing experience. The DSR is the first 2.5 miles of the Salmon River, where steelhead, King and Coho salmon, and brown trout first enter the river. Fresh from Lake Ontario, the fish are unpressured and ready action.
The Best Experience on the River
There are more than a few good reasons to buy a DSR pass. You won't experience shoulder to shoulder casting or trash strewn banks, and your fellow fishermen keep the DSR respectful and tuned to the natural rhythms of the river. We recommend getting your DSR pass online before you head out to the river.

My 10 yr old son, Ryley, and I had the pleasure of fishing the DSR on 10/2/16. We fished public water on 10/1/16 and barely saw any fish at all. We fished the DSR and saw a ton of fix and hooked numerous while landing three. Not bad for our first time! I suggest hiring a guide though as he/she will know where the fish are within the DSR any given day and which areas to target. Also make sure you buy your pass online well ahead of time as they sell out quickly. Kids 15 and under are eligible for a free pass with accompanying adult, so it's definitely family friendly. Some consider the price steep but to me it's very reasonable considering they limit the number of anglers on the river and you are one of the first people getting a crack at these fish as they enter the river for the first time versus well schooled salmon who know what to avoid. We are already planning our next trip up there for the Fall of 2017. Hopefully the run next year is as good as this year!
