Deschutes River End of August Fishing Report

Fishing for trout up in the Warm Springs area has been fair to good lately.  Quality over quantity is the mind set you should be in until the weather cools and fall makes its appearance . That being said there are some big trout being caught most days on the day stretch.   Two fly setups with spit shot fishing deep under an indicator is your best bet right now. A small Jimmy legs with some sort of mayfly trailer has been a good set up lately. Soft hackles, Psycho Princes, Frenchies.
Steelhead season seems to be off to better start than last year. Most folks fishing long days and that are covering  tons of water are averaging a fish a day.  Best bet right now is from Maupin to the mouth.  Mornings and evenings are best fished with a floating line and traditional patterns then switching to a sink tip like a ten foot T-8 and large profile flies like the fish taco, during the day.

Happy Holiday weekend to you all and we hope to see you in the fly shop soon!

Day and multi day guide trips are available on the Deschutes all season long, give us a ring at
