The Middle Deschutes is also running a little high and slightly discolored. The fishing is generally okay, but when I was there yesterday it was noticeable and fishing was a little off. I only went to fish salmonflies and we caught some fish with Chubbies. But with the water levels up I sure wished I had also carried in my Euro Nymph rod.
I think this week’s thunderstorms may the cause of the river conditions we saw yesterday.
PMD’s, BWO’s, Caddis and Pale Evening Duns are all important hatches to add to the fly box.
