Deschutes Trout -Salmon Fly Dates

Deschutes Trout Salmon Flies
There here... Deschutes Salmon Flies are hatching!

The fabled salmon fly hatch on the Deschutes is ripe & ready... There's a few bugs starting to emerge though the trout haven't started keying in on the adults... Yet. I spent yesterday floating from Pine Tree to Beavertail on the Big D. Outside of one nice trout, we had little action fishing salmon fly dries. However, stone fly nymphs and BWO nymphs found their share of fish. I have a few prime dates left on my calendar for the hatch.

Give me a call at 541-490-9446 if you want to get on the water!

Open Salmon Fly Dates: May 14, 25, 29, 31  June 6
