FISHING: Good
TROUT: Trout fishing remains good on the Lower Deschutes River. Nymph fishing is still the most productive way to hook feisty Redsides. Try drifting small mayfly, caddis, and midge patterns, sz. 16-22, through the deepest riffles and buckets. October Caddis are showing up in the Warm Springs to Trout Creek section. That means the fish have seen some October Caddis Pupas drifting in the current. Try using an Oct. Caddis Pupa pattern as a point fly and a smaller nymph as a dropper. I think you’ll enjoy the outcome.
Dry fly fishing remains hit and miss. Some fish just seem to always eat on the surface. If you know where they like to dine, temping them with small caddis and mayfly patterns shouldn’t be too difficult. PED hatches, and the last of the caddis hatches, have been strong in the evenings.
If the weather guy says it's going to be cloudy and drizzling tomorrow, it maybe a great day to play HOOKY. You can expect to see great mayfly hatches and fish eager to eat these tasty morsels!
STEELHEAD: Steelie Dan is on his way!!!! There are fish charging up the Deschutes as you read this. Most of the fish are being caught in the first ten miles up from the mouth. Rumor has it that guys are hammering them at Wagon Blast. We expect the fishing, from Sherers Falls to the mouth, to be awesome during the next few weeks as these fish migrate further up stream. The White river is acting up. The rain we had last week is still pushing silt into the Deschutes. Don’t let this discourage you. We fished Beaver Tail to Mac’s yesterday and I could see my boots wading in water to my waist. The river is a perfect steelie green. We experienced so so fishing. We were using big purple flies on type I sink tips. One fish was hooked, played, and lost.
The fly shop is now open in Bend. Come say HI. We're located on the corner of HWY 20 and 27th ST.
