The Lower Deschutes from Warm Springs to Trout Creek is good for trout, with evening dry fly action bette than expected, some afternoon eddy fishing will find rising trout to spent caddis, spent PMD and Rusty Spinners and Midges. Lots of Micro Caddis (#20 Black) mixed with the ubiquitous #16 Tan summer caddis on the D!
Nymphing and small Streamers are great and since most of our guide trips are more mid-day we end up catching a lot of the fish on Perdigon’s, Caddis Pupa, Soft Hackles, Copper Johns, Micro May’s and Girdle Bugs.
Good numbers of Steelhead are coming over the Bonneville and Dalles Dams. A lot of those will turn up the Deschutes and this Fall is going to be the best we’ve seen in years. Fish are being caught on the lower reaches now! Hot wild fish on a swung fly, what is better than that?
