Lower Deschutes Salmon Fly Hatch

River flows:3800


Its that time of the year again! Salmon fly's have been present on the day stretch for three days now. Last night there were tons of the big bugs in flight buzzing around. Dry fly fishing has been best during low light conditions, that being said fish will start keying in soon. Weather forecast this week calling for mild conditions mid 60s and partly cloudy which will prolong the hatch. Look for the dry fly fishing to pick up as soon as that hot weather returns. If nymphing is your thing its been good, really damn good. The mid day bite has been phenomenal on some days. A'lot of caddis fly's are out already and we've been doing very well fishing flashy green rock worms, caddis pupas, and an assortment of euro nymphs that we are now carrying in the fly shop. Its critical to start close in on your presentation as the big boys follow the salmon fly nymphs to the bank and line up for the buffet. Happy hunting everyone!
