Trout The Lower Deschutes remains impressive in terms of giving up fish on the surface. Not all anglers in all locations are having career days, however, those who are dedicating themselves to fishing the large salmonfly and golden stone dry flies are picking up fish. Last night saw not near as many salmonflies flying or on the surface as the night before (mostly due to slightly cooler windy weather), although the fish were eating the dry flies extremely well in some cases. Remember that the dry fly fishing during this hatch is unlike many others. You do not need to see naturals on the surface, nor do you need to see fish rising in order to have good dry fly fishing. The fish have seen enough of the large bugs now to warrant fishing the dry fly all day or atleast most of the day. Big grass banks and tree lined banks are the best, although you still have a chance in the riffles on the surface if you want to fish a dry/dropper combo. The forecast is calling for Isolated T-Storms and cooler weather, which may make for less flight and activity by the large bugs, but fishing should remain very good. PMD's have been steady and we are seeing good numbers of caddis. Pull out your pupa patterns if you do feel the need to nymph and match it up with a good PMD or generic mayfly nymph. Make sure to come in and say hi, we are only 1 mile South of the Warm Springs boat ramp.
Hot Tip Fish big Salmonflies and Goldens up under overhanging trees and hold on.
Salmonfly Watch There here, and the trout now know it, Big Time!
