Deschutes Salmon Fly Hatch
Salmon flies will be here in mid-May!

Watching a big salmon fly struggle out of it's nymphal shuck is a remarkable event. Typically, most anglers miss this incredible event because it happens at night. However, my good friend Joe Ringo from DeschutesFlyFishingReport.com sent me this awesome pic.

Joe lives in Maupin near the banks of the Deschutes and writes a great blog about his fishing experiences. If you need honest up-to-date info on the Deschutes next season, check out Joe's blog.

If you would like to fish the salmon fly hatch this season, get in touch with me.
