The Lower Deschutes is good, especially for Trout on the Warm Springs to Trout Creek section. Steelhead are now throughout the system and, while numbers are not wonderful, they are not bad either. I have seen several friends post nice steelhead photos in the last week or so, and some of our guides staff are down fishing steelhead now and I look forward to their stories tonight. 
Lot’s of the Steelhead have come to a nice little purple swung wet fly! There is not a better way to get a steelhead on the Deschutes River than that. 
Trout fishing has been mostly on nymphs, but keep an eye open for eddy fish rising to olive duns or caddis. With the warm weather, purple haze and hi viz Fin Fetcher caddis are good evening dries.
