Crooked River 74 CFS
Not much has changed on the Crooked it is in winter mode and fishing has been excellent with all this mild weather. Hatches of midges and BWO's have been the main source for dry fly fishing in the early after noon. Use smaller Adams, Griffiths Gnats, Purple Hazes (sz 18-20+) Nymphing small micro may fly patterns, Orange Scuds, and Midge Pupa will work when nothings happening up top. Adjust your indicator fairly short, and high stick as much as possible!
Fishing should stay good on the Crooked until they begin to release water from the reservoir in the early spring. The high flows will shut down the fishing depending on how long they release water. On average to low water years the releases are minimal and fishing is back on in May just in time for the Mother's Day Caddis!

Deschutes River 4900 CFS
The section of river bordering the Warm Springs Indian Reservation is closed until the end of April!
The river down stream of the reservation is open year round and there can be some good winter trout fishing to be had. Most venture to the Maupin area to get there trout fix. There is usually very little angling pressure, and there can be some great fishing with hatches of Blue Wings, midges, and later March Browns.
If your interested in fishing the Deschutes during the off season, we give great deals on rates especially if you book a couple days!
The Salmonfly hatch is right around the corner! We are currently booking day and multi day Salmonfly trips starting May 15th. Book now to secure the best dates!

Crooked River: 72 CFS
The Crooked has been fishing well. The low water kegs fish up in the deeper holes and slots. Hatches of BWO's and Midges provide dry fly fishing mid day (1-3 PM) Nymphing can be productive when there is no hatch. Small micro may fly, midge patterns, and scuds, etc... will do the trick!
Oregon Coast Winter Steelhead
The rivers are receiving some much needed rain right now. The rain combined with some large tides this week will bring in lots of fresh fish! Look for fishing to be hot this coming week!

Deschutes and Crooked River Fishing Reports
9/30/12
Crooked River
The fishing on the Crooked continues to be great. The PMD hatch is starting to wind down, though Caddis are still available. Look for hatches of BWO's and Midges as well. The water level will drop once irrigation season is over (Mid to late October) The lower water level will consolidate fish even more. The whitefish spawn is another event to look forward to during the late fall and early winter months. Small egg patterns can be very productive during this time.
Deschutes River
Trout:
Trout fishing is great right now on the Deschutes. Most anglers are targeting steelhead though.
Great dry fly fishing can be had on spent caddis, craneflies, and small baetis. Watch for casual risers in back eddies, along banks, and under the Alders, use stealth tactics when stalking these fish.
Steelhead:
Steelhead are present through the whole river. Fishing ranges from slow to good. Good numbers of fish are upriver from Warm Springs to South Junction. Fish are spread out and seem to be podded up through out the rest of the river. Cover lot's of water in your search.
