Deschutes River Fishing Reports

Deschutes River Salmon fly Update

It’s been a minute since we posted.. what a whirl wind the last month has been. But the hatch is now tailing off and the river is transition. 

There are still a few big stoneflies flyin’ around, but the fish are starting to take notice of some of the other hatches ocuring as well. Caddis in the morning, PMD’s in the afternoon, little Yellow Sallies too. And on overcast days especially if your in an area that has a lot of down wood, you may see a Green drake or two!
We really like two fly combo’s; dry/dropper, dry/dry set ups this time of year with a size 8-10 Orange or Yellow Stimilator with about a 3′ tag of 5x and either an x caddis in the sz16-18 range or Light Cahil or Parachute PMD dry fly pattern (Especially mid day or evening) and a split case PMD nymph or a Bubble back PMD nymph as a dropper mid day!

Come in to the shop before hitting the river and we will show you these flies and few more of our favorites on the way to the river!
