Deschutes River - Lower - December 21st, 2010
supplied by: Deschutes River Outfitters
FISHING: Fair
Well it's getting down to the wire for steelhead season on the bulk of the river. Pelton to the Northern Reservation boundary closes December 31. So if your holiday plans call for unwrapping any steelhead, the countdown is on.
River bumped up, but looks like it is dropping. Sink tips, leech/intruder styles or indicator nymphing should help you find steel in your stocking.
If you miss the final inning, no worries, plenty of winter steelheading and chrome fish on their way on the other side of the Cascades.
Enjoy, and Happy Holidays.

Deschutes River - Lower - December 1st, 2010
supplied by: Deschutes River Outfitters
FISHING: Good
We are deep into the late innings on the Deschutes Steelhead season. Fishing has been fair to pretty good the last week or so. Water temps are just now really dipping below 49-48 degrees. That is decent. Pressure is lightening, it is that time of year. Weather is really starting to nudge it's way toward winter. Less people, more runs for you, more potential for a total beat down. That should make you smile for those that are still grinding away out there.
Most of the fish are getting on the darker side ( it's that time of year), but surprisingly there are still quite a few brighter than average fish showing up. Sure seems like quite a few fish showed up late. There have been some really nice, fat, sassy fish, with a lot of wild fish (always super cool and a glimmer of hope for the future). Worth getting out there for a last hurrah, soon enough it will be time to drive over the mountains the other way for winter chrome on the coast.
Remember steelhead closes from Pelton to the Northern Reservation Boundary December 31. Trout is already closed in that section (10/31). Dry Creek to Trout Creek is closed on the Tribal side.

Deschutes River - Lower - November 13th, 2010
supplied by: Fly and Field Outfitters
FISHING: Good
Steelhead - The tribal waters are now closed between Warm Springs and Trout Creek. You can still fish "river right" through the end of the year. The fishing has been well, fishing. Anglers who are working hard and keeping their fly wet are hooking a fish or two a day. It's not a numbers year, but the size of fish is definately above average. Tips and nymph tactics are taking the majority of fish, think low and slow for the remainder of the season.
TROUT- Trout season is closed along the waters of the Warm Springs Reservation. You can still have some decent fishing in the Maupin area, as crowds will be thin and most will be targeting Steelhead for the next month or so.

Deschutes River - Lower - November 12th, 2010
supplied by: Radditz Sipler Outfitters (RSO)
RECORDED: 
37 °
FISHING: Good
Just off another Deschutes Steelhead trip and we are seeing some of the best action all season. It's still not great, but a lot better than what we've seen so far. My guess is that it's due to the lack of angler pressure for the most part. We saw one other boat over four days of fishing and few bank anglers besides the usual crowd at South Junction. Dress warm and don't rush out into the water in the morning this time of year. The softer water will begin to produce better as temps continue to fall and the fish settle into lies that require less exertion. For swinging flies, the trend is toward big leach or intruder patterns, but small buggy natural patterns will continue to produce. You don't need T-14 to catch fish here but a type III tip is a good idea except for the most shallow lies.

Steelhead fishing is good in the Warm Springs area. Also South Jct, Harpham Flats, Pipeline and down near the Mouth there are still hot fish comimg in.
Sink Tip fishing has been producing the best results FYI.

Steelhead:
The first part of November has been arguably our most consistent fishing. That doesn't mean it has been lights out over here, but it seems like the guys willing to put in a full day's worth effort are being rewarded with consistency. We'll see how long this holds out, with weather and water temps being the big factor in putting fish down. So far, though, so good.
This time of year is a good time to hone up on your sink-tip skills in preparation for winter. Having said that, you can certainly have success on a floating line all day long. The water temp is still in the low-to-mid 50's, and we don't feel a sink-tip is neccessary until it is under 48 degrees.
Trout:
Trout fishing has really picked up these last couple of weeks. Cloudy days with a hint of rain equal epic BWO hatches. These are the Accentrella and they run about a size 20, but when the trout are keyed in on them it can be a riot. Keep an eye out for midge activity in the mornings.

Deschutes River - Lower - November 8th, 2010
supplied by: Radditz Sipler Outfitters (RSO)
RECORDED:
53 °
FISHING: Good
Steelhead fishing has been better over the last two weeks here on the Deschutes as fishing pressure eases up and more fish move up above the falls. While this season will not compare well to last season, it has been more productive than what we saw in late September and most of October. The trend of fewer, but bigger fish continues to hold up and Native fish are still outnumbering the hatchery fish, although many of these"natives" seem to be just unclipped hatchery fish. As water temps continue to drop we are seeing a lot more subtle takes so fish with more deliberation to avoid leaving players behind and don't discount any pluck or pull, no matter how faint. The softer water will begin to produce better as temps continue to fall and the fish settle into lies that require less exertion. For swinging flies, the trend is toward big leach or intruder patterns, but small buggy natural patterns will continue to produce. You don't need T-14 to catch fish here but a type III tip is a good idea except for the most shallow lies.

Deschutes River - Lower - November 4th, 2010
supplied by: Deschutes River Outfitters
FISHING: Good
Here we are getting toward the later innings of steelhead season. Bottom line it is not 2009. This year has been more of a reality check and back to normal steelheading. Working hard to swing up 1-3 fish a day, and every day or so getting shots in the 3-7+ opportunity range. Average steelheading. Not bad, not red hot. Cover the water thoroughly and don't blow chances than it is good. Fish sloppy and grumble that it is not '09 than you'll be dissapointed. The good news is that there are quite a few wild fish around and they ( including the ones missing the adipose) seem to be running a bit larger on average. Seems like a fair trade off, quality over quantity. Steelheading.
Trout closed from Pelton Dam to the Northern Reservation boundary October 31. Tribal side Dry Creek to Trout Creek closed October 31st. Steelhead closes from Pelton Dam to the Northern Reservation boundary December 31. A month or so to get the D steelhead fix fixed. We have limited openings left in November, and if you are a hardy sole we'll fish into December. December to April will find us searching for chrome on the coast. For updates, rates and dates feel free to email or call.

Deschutes River - Lower - October 15th, 2010
supplied by: Deschutes River Outfitters
FISHING: Good
Trout wraps up from Pelton to the Northern Reservation boundary October 31. Had a trout trip this week and it was a great day. Jimmy legs and mics. caddis pupa and smaller nymphs picked up fish. Everyone was steelheading and we had it to ourselves on a beauty of an October day. Worth getting out there and getting a trout fix before the snow flies.
Steelheading had been a little tougher. More like steelheading. Working hard for opportunities. Fish are all the way through the system. Sounds like the White River was acting up, not sure how it is now. A little different than last year, but a lot of nice bigger than average fish around to make up for lack of numbers. Stick with it and swing away, it is steelheading.

Deschutes River - Lower - October 9th, 2010
supplied by: Radditz Sipler Outfitters (RSO)
RECORDED: 
72 °
FISHING: Fair
Sorry for the big gap in fishing reports. We have been on the water every day for the last several weeks. There is both good and bad news to report. The bad news: the numbers of steelhead in the Deschutes are well below last year's counts, and it's been obvious in the success rate for our fishermen. The good news: the conditions, the numbers of fish, and the success rates have improved over the last week. One other positive note to add: the fish have been bigger on average and the top fish have been into the teens on almost every trip. We have been upstream of Maupin for the most part as the White River has been in and out of shape causing some lost days in the lower river. With all the rain today it's possible that the White may blow out again and drive most of the anglers upstream between locked gate and Oak Springs. Back out in the AM for another trip.......
