The Lower Deschutes is really good on the Warm Springs to Trout Creek day drift, or farther down the 3 day run or even going down to Macks Canyon or the Mouth for Steelhead.
There are steelhead in all the segments and we are excited for the rest of fall and early winter to fish for steelhead.
October Caddis Pupa and Stonefly nymphs are good choices for bigger nymphs, Juju Baetis, Skinny Nelsons, Micro Mayfly, Jigs and Perdigons.
Still some good Tan Caddis (#16) and BWO’s, Mahogany Duns & PMD’s on top, and look for trout up on black midge pupa and adults too.
