Deschutes Trout Salmon Flies
Nice going Lee!

I recently spent a day chasing Deschutes trout with Lee Brown. Although our intentions were all about salmon flies, the fish were a little persnickety when it came to the big bugs. However, we did have a brief -but intense showing of Green Drakes in the early afternoon. We did manage to find a few fish on Golden Stone dries by the end of the day.
