The Middle Deschutes is going to see rising water levels this week with the end of water being diverted to irrigation canals. It will be fishable, but the days it happens will be a bummer with dirtier waters and debris floating down from what were previously dry river banks. Stonefly nymphs often get moved around in these bumps of higher water events, so tuck some in the box. Soccer Mom’s and Mini Gulps are great little streamers to drift any time. Purple Haze and Renegades are 2 bigger dries I would fish in the evening, but the main hatch is BWO #18-20 and some PMD’s and Tan Caddis in #16’s.
