Deschutes River Fishing Report


5/6/18

Fishing has been great on the Deschutes these last few weeks. We aren’t seeing any salmonfly adults yet, but with warm weather in the forecast it won’t be long. We are guessing within a week we will be seeing the hatch as high as Warm Springs. Keep in mind that it usually takes a few days of the adult stoneflies being around for the fish to really key into the dry flies. In the meantime, the nymphing has been great, with fish being taken on stonefly nymphs, Hare’s Ears, Pheasant Tails, Copper Johns, and soft hackles. We have also been seeing some early Mother’s Day Caddis, and fish rising to them in the evenings. On rainy, overcast days we have been seeing hatches of BWO’s and March Browns, although the March Browns are on their way out. Look for hatches of PMD’s to pick up in the next few weeks. Stop by Deschutes River Fly Shop for the latest intel, bugs and beer.
Our guides have been having great days on the water lately, and still have some opening left in May, click here for more info or call 541-647-2584 to book your trip today!
