Stream
flow: The Deschutes has been in excellent shape,
water temps have been in the lower 50's.
Steelhead:
Steelhead fishing has been excellent from the mouth to Warm
Springs! A couple of friends and I were out for 2 days last
week with guide Tom Larimer in the lower river and had excellent
fishing, a couple of fish were big B-run fish. The best
thing is that there are few people in the lower river!
Trout: Trout
fishing has been good, little pressure on them right now
with such a good Steelhead run. This is a great time to
start stalking trout in the eddies slurping small BWO's.
Hatches: Blue Winged Olives are
starting to hatch with the cooler water. You will also find
some good fishing with midges in the back eddies
