FISHING: Great
Below Pelton Dam
Good Stonefly Fishing Continues -- We're having a ball. The bugs are out in force top to bottom Warm Springs to Maupin though they are starting to fade a little bit on the lower end. Fishing has been good despite a certain amount of cold windy weather. A predicted warming trend should make it even better – peak days are coming right up especially in the Warm Spgs area.
On over cast days we have been catching some good Green Drake hatches mid afternoon. Also PMD fishing with both nymphs and dries has been quite good -- for best results fish right in the top of the run were the riffle water first enters the pool.

Tips – For best results during Salmonfly cast close to the river banks and up under the edges of overhanging trees. Look for sources of bugs -- places where the insects fall in -- these are the areas where fish will concentrate.
If the fish aren’t biting right away don’t give up on the dry flies and go to nymphs too soon. The hatch tends to be fickle – likely looking places may not always yield up fish. This does not mean the fish are “full” it just means they are not feeding in that one spot at the moment. If you persist with the dry over time you will get results.
Conservation alert: The months of May, June and July are prime spawning periods for our native fish, the Deschutes “redside”. Even though this activity creates a very tempting fishing opportunity and you may see some good anglers even some guides targeting these fish we encourage you to avoid spawning fish whenever possible.
