October Caddis began hatching this week and the fish are on the pupa really well. We are also getting plenty of fish on smaller Tan Pupa, Jigs, Copper Johns, Small Mayfly Nymphs, Soft Hackle PT's and smaller Stonefly Nymphs. On warmer evenings the dry fly action is still alive on Purple Haze and X Caddis. … Continue reading Lower Deschutes Fishing Report 9/22/18

A lot of Caddis on the water in the evening, so Pupa patterns throughout the afternoon are great as a nymph and then emergers and adults as the sun hides behind the canyon. PMD's are not done, and we have great luck on Purple Haze when the PMD's are out on the D. We've been … Continue reading Lower Deschutes report 9/6/18

Water temperatures have become a lot colder in the last week or so. This is good and not great. Great for pulling Steelhead from a much warmer Columbia River system so we are getting more fish in the system. Not as great for hatches in the Upper River as we saw a noticeable difference in … Continue reading Lower Deschutes fishing report 8/24/18

Our section from Warm Springs to Trout Creek has been great for the guides here. We are seeing really good caddis action both on dries and pupa. Also some PMD's & PED's. Water temps coming out of the dam are about 57 degrees. That temp holds well for several miles and is great for the … Continue reading Lower Deschutes fishing report 8/10/18

Caddis Pupa and Yellow Spot Euro Jigs have been hot for us, along with PT's, Lightning Bugs, Perdigons, Fat Ass … Continue reading Lower Deschutes fishing report 7/20/18

Summer Caddis is in FULL SWING. It is magical. PMD's and Pale Evening Duns are also quite good. Our Guides are doing really well on the Warm Springs to Trout Creek fishing nymphs throughout the day, and dries in the evening.

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. PMD's, Pale Evening Duns, Caddis, Hot Garcia (purple) and Purple Haze. Caddis Pupa's have been incredible for us, along with PT's, Copper John, Batman, 3 Dollar Dip, Frenchies and … Continue reading Lower Deschutes River fishing report 6/20/18

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
