The Middle Deschutes is now in Pale Evening Dun (#12-14 with 2 tails and a flattened looking head with pale blue eyes) and Pale Morning Duns (#16 with orange eyes and 3 tails and rounder shaped head), Blue Wing Olives #22, Tan Caddis #16 and very few stoneflies left in any of the pockets of river we enjoy from Bend to Lake Billy Chinook. There are some isolated canyons and tough to access spots in the middle D and is a place you might be finding less people for the weekend.
