The Lower Deschutes has been fishing well. Nymphing will be the most productive method to utilize and adding a bit of split shot or using flies with tungsten beads will be to your advantage to get your flies down nice and deep. A variety of mayfly and caddis patterns will get the job done and euro and indicator methods will both be effective. Swingting streamers and soft hackles is also a fun way to target some aggressive trout. Keep an eye out for fish sipping in the back eddies as these can often be fooled by small caddis and mayfly patterns.
