The Lower Deschutes trout fishing from Warm Springs, Mecca, Dry Creek, Trout Creek areas has been good too, especially on Euro Nymphs with heavy beads for the point fly (4mm or bigger = drifting low and slow) , and there is still a good evening rise going for Caddis and some Mayflies up to dusk on most evenings. During the afternoon look for fish in the eddies rising to dries. These fish are tough to fool, but provide a ton of excitement just trying to fool them.

Iris Caddis #16-18, Fin Fetcher Caddis #16-18, Corn Fed Caddis #16, X Caddis #16-18, Purple Haze #14-18, PMD’s #16, BWO #20, Rusty Spinner #16-20, Spent Caddis #16-18, Midge Winkler #22 are useful in the eddies and shadows during the afternoon and in the juicy dry fly runs and around weed beds in the magic hour before dark.

Trout Spey with streamers and sculpins and crayfish imitations has also been good.

I saw on social media where some people have been catching steelhead at the mouth of the Deschutes. I think that is great. What I do not think was great was seeing WILD STEELHEAD being held out of the water for a photo. Jeez people, that is simply not cool to do to such an important fish and the future of the Deschutes River.
Keep. Them. Wet!
