Deschutes River - Lower - May 20th, 2013
supplied by: The Patient Angler
RECORDED: 
70 °
FISHING: Good
I floated the ever popular Warm Springs to Trout Creek section of the Deschutes yesterday hoping to hit the salmonfly hatch. The bugs were all over the bushes the fish just didn't seem totally keyed on them, with most of our fish being caught in tough to reach spots or quite a ways off the bank. We fished golden stone patters in size 8 through 12 and did fairly well, with the Clarks Stone and the Rogue Stone producing the most hits.

Deschutes River - Lower - May 15th, 2013
supplied by: Deschutes River Outfitters
FISHING: Great
Whoa, the warm weather and water temps have the big bugs popping! Dupmed the boats at Trout Creek on Monday, and the bushes at the ramp where covered in salmon flies and golden stones. First stop was pay dirt on fish eating dries. The next 30+miles had bugs and decent numbers of fish up and looking. Lots of caddis, some PMD, PED's, a few yellow sallies, and BWO showing as well. I would say get out and get some. We have 3-4 days maybe open for the next month, so don't delay. This is the time to thing about summer and July August trout.
If we can help in any way please let us know.

Deschutes River - Lower - May 8th, 2013
supplied by: John Judy Flyfishing
RECORDED: 
75 °
FISHING: Excellent
I just got off a lower Deschutes trip on May 4th, 5th, and 6th. Traffic on the river was light. Nymph fishing was slow. Caddis pupa and rock worms being the most effective patterns. There were lots of hatchery steelhead smolts in the river – so much so they they get to be a nuisance. You end up developing strategies to avoid hooking them.
Starting at just above White Horse Rapid we did see the first of the Salmonflies hatched out. By the time we got to the Dant area there where a few larger fish taking big bugs on the surface. Clearly it was the very beginning of the Salmonfly hatch. From a historical perspective this emergence is early– however it is in line with the “new norm” which we have been experiencing for the last 3 years, ever since PGE went to surface draw at the Pelton dam.
Once Salmonfly starts the hatch tends to develop quickly. By the end of the week I would expect the fishing to improve dramatically. Starting next week I would guess the bugs will be distributed all the way up to Warm Springs. You can expect fishing on the lower Deschutes to get real good real fast over the next 30 days.

Deschutes River - Lower - May 8th, 2013
supplied by: Radditz Sipler Outfitters (RSO)
RECORDED:
78 °
FISHING: Good
The Salmonfly hatch has been early the last few years and this year looks to repeat that patern. We floated the Warm Springs to Maupin stretch over three days last week and the big bugs are already starting to hatch. We spotted both salmonflies and golden stones on the banks and a few are flying already. Not many above Whitehorse but OK numbers on the last day. We caught fish all the way up above South Junction on the big dries, but it was sporadic at best and it's clear that the majority of the fish are not looking for them yet. There were fair mid-morning PMD hatches and a good number of caddis flying as well. We caught fish on both. The smolts are still pretty thick so they showed up heavily in the catch. They are a lot more aggressive than the big resident fish more often than not, but they should thin out over the next week or two.

Deschutes River - Lower - April 30th, 2013
supplied by: The Patient Angler
RECORDED:
66 °
FISHING: Fair
I floated Warm Springs to Trout Creek on Sunday and found a few fish although fishing was still a little tough. The big bugs must be moving as Possie Buggers and giant stonefly nymphs were the big producers with a smaller Copper John on the drop getting a little love. Water level is low for this time of year which could help speed things up for the salmonfly hatch.
On Monday I fished the D down below town and got into a bunch of fish, mostly on Possie Buggers with the big fish of the day being a 12" brightly colored brown.

Deschutes River - Lower - April 25th, 2013
supplied by: Deschutes River Outfitters
FISHING: Great
Satrurday marks the opening of the upper section ( Pelton to Northern Reservation Boundary), the season is here. We had an overnight trip a couple days ago, and the the fishing was great. Early season nymphing with stone fly patterns producing very well. Some mid day dry fly action as well. Great time to get out, especailly if this nice spring weather holds on. You don't have to wait for the salmon fly hatch to fish the Deschutes!
Speaking of salmonflies, won't be long. We have a few early dates open and only like 2 or 3 other days left. We do have a group June 3/4/5 that is looking for one other person. If you are solo and want to come alonmg on a multi-day trip during prime time salmon fly, contact us for information!

Deschutes River - Lower - April 19th, 2013
supplied by: Deschutes River Outfitters
FISHING: Good
The boats are prepped and ready to go, fly boxes stocked and it's about go time. Today was a great day and way to kick off 2013 guide season. Matt had a trip today and had a great day of early season trout fishing. Mostly a nymphing show with stone fly patterns and a smaller pattern (pheasant tail, pyscho prince, brassie) trailer fishing well. Typical spring in that mid-day, warmer part of the day, fished better than earlier. Short lived but fun March Brown hatch produced some fun dry fly action as well. Srping hatches will vary in duration and intesnity. If you see some blue wing olives or March browns start popping moving to prime spring time dry fly zones sooner than later can produce dry fly action. Once the hatch starts, the shot clock is running. Early season can fish well, and the fishing pressure can be very light. The weather can be all over the place, but it's all part of the adventure.
Regular trout season from Pelton to the Northern Reservation opens on the 27th, a week away. Want to kick the season off? Give a call for trip booking information.
The Salmon fly and Golden Stone fly hatch will be here before you know it. We only have a few open days available, like 4 days. So if you are interested the clock is ticking.
We do have some openings at the beginning of May and this can be some great nymphing and the fish fat and sassy. We could be seeing some early salmon fly action around Maupin in the beginning of May.

Deschutes River - Lower - April 6th, 2013
supplied by: Deschutes River Outfitters
FISHING: Good
Spring is here and the start of the season is right around the corner. Pelton Dam to Northern Rervation Boundary ( Warm Springs to Reservation boundary) opens April 27. Open year round Reservation Boundary to Mouth. Spring can be a great time to get out. Excepect mostly nymphing, which can be really good. Day to day consistencey and intesnsity of hatches will vary. When conditions are right, there can be some great dry fly opportunities. Look for blue wing olives, March Browns, midges and possible caddis. Most of the dry fly action will be in eddies and the soft seams and soft water below riffles.
Salmonfly and golden stone hatch is not far away. Very Limited dates available, if you interested, now is the time to book em before they are gone.
Excited for the season to get going and get back on the Deschutes! Should be another great season.
Side note, spring is a fun time in Central Oregon. Other central and eastern Oregon rivers can fish well this time of year. Come on over and ski, mountain bike, and fish.
If we can help at all, let us know. Have fun out there.

Deschutes River - Lower - April 3rd, 2013
supplied by: The Flyfishers Place
RECORDED:
70 °
FISHING: Good
There is a good March Brown hatch mixed with BWO's and Caddis.
Stonefly nymphs with a Hares Ear dropper, PT, Red Copper John or Prince is an excellent choice for deep nymphing.
A Sparkle Pupa, Fox's Poopah or March Brown Soft Serve or Soft hackle is a good bet for swinging the riffles.
Maupin area is the only spot open until the end of the month.
