The Upper Deschutes from Crane up to the Little Lava Lake area is good. I’ve had some good reports of all kinds of hatches, including a few Green Drakes, some early Golden Stones, PMD, Yellow Sally and Caddis, Look for flying ants this weekend, and anytime is a good time to fish an ant (non flying version) and a beetle up there. Sculpins and Euro Streamers are good, Walts, Frenchie, Perdigons, 2 Bits, Psycho Prince and Micro Mays are super nymphs. You can run these euro style, under an indicator or dry-dropper with a small Chubby or Stimulator.
I’d love to hear from any of you that have tried the river from Wickiup to Sunriver area. I’ve heard that many many fish escaped Wickiup the last 2 summer/fall times in the historically low water and got through the dam and down to the river.
