Thinking of heading up Oct. 1

Their stacked up there now, I recommend bringing your waders just in case though. They may not be there long.

If you look at their interactive map it will list most of the named holes.. It also gives you a good look at the area as far as water types & islands. Obviously the most pressure (fishermen) will be at the named spots , think outside the box and fish above or below these holes, again you can see this on the map.. An easy starting point & mid section of dsr is the flats.. Take the trail being where you purchases your pass , follow the trail and down the staircase and head straight (slightly left) toward the river.. If you follow the trail from stairs to the right that will take you to the Joss hole (I'd avoid that).. Again from stairs go straight to river, that will put you just below the flats which you'll see to the left when you come to the water. Right there is a good holding section before they move into the shallow(low water) flats.. Try that for a bit and if you see fish moving through the flats then cross the river to the island and fish to the moving, holding fish..
From that point on I would move up river (south side) and fish the top of the island just below the wall hole or even behind the island above the white water is good..
Now you are still on an island.. cross the rest of the river (carefully) to shore and follow the trail above the wall hole and scout the water, small holding spots should have fish..
at the top of the wall hole you may want to once again (carefully) cross to another island to what is called the sycamore hole (I'd pass it by) you'll see people fishing there for sure..
Walk upstream (on the Island) and start looking in the pockets hor holding or moving fish to cast to.. This area is called but not named the bucket.. fish will move and hold in the pocket water.. You may wish to pass that by to the top where the first slower water will hold fish to rest.. It's a deep enough run to hold quite a few fish.. work that water to the top of the island and you will be just below the glide.. If the water is high and the fish are blowing through the choke point at the tip of the island they will hold in the very tail out of the glide. Once they hit the deep water of the glide I move on..

That should provide you with a full days fishing for sure..
Remember to bring a wading staff and good polarized glasses..
Also ask the people for a pocket map of the property..
Have Fun !!!

Most of my BEST spots have no "official" name.

in my opinion; prime salmon water... maybe spot below has a name but all of the individual pockets don't which in my opinion is the best water to target... pocket water... good luck

yes tuna that is 2500 cfs... i actually posted it to try and cover it up since you have made comments towards me for blowing up spots...honestly; that is why... anyway,i have had steelhead break water for flies with no or little weight in this section in lower water in to january... i have been very successful with bobbers on a noodle rod as well in the seems. there are lies in which the water barely moves that the fish hold in. i always find also high stick nymphing with weight has probably been the most deadly for me. it's oxygen these fish are looking for. it's the boiling choppy type of water in between the currents. or the dark areas behind a big rock or underneath a slate undercut.they don't just blow through it... and yes i have many fish strike agressively, especially the cohoes or holding fresh kings...when taking your common approach/technique/water type i prefer to fish the flat water below the joss hole. mostly an even depth across from bank to bank. great for nymphing and swinging for steel being that you can just leave 60 70 ft. of line out and just cast to either side of you and hit feeding steelhead/aggressive salmon... i have hit runns of salmon down there where you could cast in any direction towards groups of fish. i don't prefer it for salmon though. i don't like to see the fish i fish for. i notice in the shallow flat water, the fish stop for short periods of time and mostly keep moving. and spook easy.i have fished pocket water that held fish all day. even have gone back the next day and caught fish with yesterdys fly in it's mouth. it's all a matter of preference...

in regards to your drifts... how long of a drift do you take when spotting your target? probably not much further than the drifts i take in my 15 -30 foot slots i drift when fishing fast water. i imagine you cast about five to ten foot upsatream of fish, and then recast once past the fish. do you really discriminate fast water or people who fish it? imo i think that's pretty messed up. i fish just about every type of water there is depending on what type of rod or set up i'm using, or what i prefer for that day or depending on where i know fish are holding;water levels;etc.etc. some days for steel in particular; i will find them holding and being more agressive in pocket water. some days pick 1 or 2 up behind every other pocket i throw my bobber or fly pattern behind. so why should i not recomend fishing fast water? it's productive water for me.

 
I'll tell ya, when the pressure is on, and in lower flows, you want to look for the most turbulant whitewater you can find. This is where the most aggressive Kings and Trout will be holding.
 
As Tuna said, little weight is best, even in the fast whitewater, especially when it actually looks like you have to get the fly down, it is actually the opposite, but most fisherman see the fast white water and think heavy weight, get it down. Wrong. These fish have great vision, most hook-ups in fast whitewater comes within seconds after the fly hits, and the hook-ups are always clean and solid in this fashion.
 
Swinging to holding Salmon is great when the conditions are right, but as migratory fish, they do tend to have predictable patterns.

So DB, when we fishin ?
I'll be on the water again in Nov , Brown Town & Maybe some Chrome for bling.
