The Middle Deschutes is starting to see a small bump in flows as some of the irrigation canals are taking less water. This to me signals more opportunities for streamer fishing, and what better time of the year than Fall to fish streamers than when Brown Trout are getting grumpy and aggressive in their pre-spawn period. 
Besides that, Euro Nymphing is very good, with morning to early afternoon sessions a great time to hit the river. 
PMD and BWO and some Tan Caddis and October Caddis are hatching and important dry flies or emergers to fish during the hatch.
