Caddis have come on stronger this week along with PMD and Pale Evening Duns. Add a Purple Haze to the the dry fly mix and you'll be set! Sparkle Pupa, Soft Hackles, Zebra Midges, PT's, Anato May, Frenchie, Psycho Prince, Copper John, D/C Lighting Bug (red) and Euro Jigs have been great for us. It's … Continue reading Lower Deschutes Fishing Report 6/29/18

Our guides have been smacking the fish on the Lower River on all the good summer time hatches we'd expect to see this time of year.

Some straggler stoneflies still out, and the next few warm evenings should bring some good feeding at dusk on big bugs in the WS to TC area. It's about done though for the big salmonflies, but the goldenstones are going to last just a little longer this week. PMD's, PED's and Caddis are going to … Continue reading Lower Deschutes fishing report 6/4/18

The weather over the Memorial Day weekend was pretty good, especially Sunday and Monday it warmed and made for happy stoneflies.

On Saturday Ben whacked them on caddis and small … Continue reading Stonefly Update 5/28/18

There are some Yellow Sally's mixed in with the big bugs too, and one thing we've found is the fish that have seen a lot of big flies float over their head often will come up … Continue reading Lower Deschutes Fishing Report 5/22/18

It'll be mid next week probably before they are really up in that stretch. … Continue reading Lower Deschutes fishing report 5/11/18

Our guides have been having excellent fishing in the Warm Springs to Trout Creek section. No hatch to speak of, and nothing on the surface but great nymphing on Stonefly Nymphs and Lightning Bugs. We've also been doing great on light colored Euro Jigs, Sparkle Pupas, Halls CDC Hares Ear, Flashback PT, Worms and Sparkle … Continue reading Lower Deschutes fishing report 4/26/18

With the Warm Springs to Trout Creek section opening up for us on Sunday 4/22 we are very excited to get back on the river and catch some redsides! Should see March Browns right off the bat, and some caddis. Based on openers in the past we are pretty sure it'll be mostly a nymphing … Continue reading Lower Deschutes fishing report 4/20/18

I was lucky enough to get on the river WS to TC over the weekend and again tuesday and while I didn't personally get any steelhead, my wife did and some friends did as well. Remember the west side of the main channel is now closed including the reservation and some of the islands so … Continue reading Lower Deschutes Report 11/2/17
