A sunday update on water conditions 5/5/24
Just a quick update from Yesterday morning when I wrote the report, the Middle Deschutes jumped from under 70cfs to the 254cfs. Still fishable at 254 for sure, but it is a jump and probably throws off the fish for a day or so. The Crooked River bumped up to 418cfs. I do believe it … Continue reading A sunday update on water conditions 5/5/24

Crooked River is blowing out 3/29/24
My fears of high water at the Crooked River were realized this afternoon as BOR bumped the flows as the reservoir is almost full. I’m guessing that we are going to see high water for 10-14 days. If it stabilizes around 500 or 600 cfs it’ll fine to fish in a few days. Let’s keep … Continue reading Crooked River is blowing out 3/29/24
