We use many different fly fishing techniques throughout a day of guided fishing.
We love to fish dry flies when the fish are willing to come up. Often times, a
dry/dropper combo is the way to fish the endless pocket water on the Deschutes.
However, we do fish a lot of indicator rigs when they are called for. We also swing
wet flies and occasionally streamers.

Dressing for the climate:
Summer weather on the Deschutes is typically warm and pleasant. Breathable
waders and felt soled wading boots are a must. Cleats and a wading staff are
advised. You'll want to wear river shorts or layer with lightweight synthetic long
underwear. A Gore-tex shell will keep you warm and dry in the worst of weather. A
full change of clothing stored in a dry bag can save the day in the case of an
unexpected baptism. With that said, bring the sun block... Most days you'll need it.
Wet wading is a great option if the weather gets hot.
